#### Report of independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Member of Hannon Armstrong Securities, LLC
#### Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Hannon Armstrong Securities, LLC (the Company) as of December 31 , 2019, the related statements of operations, changes in member's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all materiaJ respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31 , 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
#### Basis for Opinion
These financiaJ 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 applicabEe 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 accompanying information contained in Schedules 1, II, and III has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether tlhe information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing p rocedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information. In forming our opinion on the information, we evaluated whether such information, including its fonn and content, is presented in conformity with Rule l 7a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

## Notes to Financial Statements
#### December 31 , 2019
#### 1. Background
Hannon Annstrong Securities, LLC (the "Company") is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and a member of the Financial Industry Regulation Authority ("FINRA") effective February 1, 2011. The Company, which was formed on July 22, 2008, is a Maryland limited liability company and is wholly-owned by HAT Holdings I, LLC ("Member"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hannon Armstrong Capital, LLC (collectively referred to as the "Parent").
The Company's principal business involves providing advisory services to clients seeking financing for infrastructure projects.
#### 2. Summary of Sign.ificant Accounting Policies
#### Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
#### Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue for financial advisory and placement services provided to customers in accordance with ASC 606. For the year ended December 31, 2019, tlhe Company recognized revenue for certain structured transactions in the amount of \$6,600,000.
The Company also received placement fees for certain property assessed clean energy ("PACE") and other transactions where the Company is the named Placement Agtmt. The total revenue recognized in 2019 for those services was \$69,325.
#### Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include unrestricted cash and short-term cash investments with original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
{13}------------------------------------------------
## **Restricted Cash**
Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents set aside primarily to support certain regulatory compliance activities on behalf of the Company's registered representatives. Restricted cash is reported as part of other assets in the Statement of Financial Condition. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had restricted cash of \$1,558.
#### **Accounts Receivable**
Accounts receivable represent outstanding balances from customers. The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on estimates of unco1lectible accounts. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding accounts receivable of \$2,670. There is no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2019 as all amounts are considered collectible.
#### **Prepaid Expenses**
We have recorded a prepaid expense of \$4,097 associated with certain email archiving services as well as the 2020 FINRA registration renewal fees.
#### **Income Taxes**
No provision has been made for federal and state income taxes since the income, if any, from Company's operations is included in the tax returns of the Member. Franchise and other taxes paid to state authorities are recorded as general and administrative expense on the Statement of Operations when incurred. We have no income tax examinations in progress and none are expected at this time, although 2015 through 2018 are open. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2019.
#### **Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**
*Leases*
In February 2016, the F ASB issued ASC Topic 842, *Leases,* which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, *Leases".* The main principle of Topic 842 requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from nearly all leases on the balance sheet. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Topic 842 provides companies with a choice of transitioning to the new standard using one of two modified retrospective transition approaches; one tlhat requires companies to adjust comparative periods upon adoption and another where comparative periods are not adjusted, and a cumulative adjustment is made to retained earnings.
{14}------------------------------------------------
As a lessee, the classification of our lease did not change, but we have recognized a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset on our Statement of Financial Condition for our leases. We hold one sublease with the Parent for office space.
We adopted ASC Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019 and have elected to apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. At adoption, we recorded a right-of-use asset of \$13,093 and a corresponding lease liability of \$13,093 on the balance sheet. We utilized an incremental borrowing rate of 4.02% as our discount rate to calculate the right-of-use asset and lease liability upon adoption.
We currently have a right-of-use asset of \$9,240 included within Other assets and a corresponding lease liability of \$9,377 included within Other liabilities on the balance sheet. These amounts represent non-cash activities and have accordingly been excluded from the Statement of Cash Flows.
#### *Credit Losses*
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("Topic 326"). Topic 326 significantly changes how entities will recognize and measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. Topic 326 replaces the "incurred loss" approach under existing guidance with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost and require entities to record allowances for expected losses from available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the amortized cost, as currently required. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. Topic 326 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and is to be adopted through a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The standard is effective for us on January 1, 2020. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Other accounting standards updates issued before March 2, 2020 and effective after December 31 , 2019 are not expected to have a material effect on our Statement of Financial Condition, Statement of Operations, Statement of Changes in Member's Equity or the Statement of Cash Flows.
## **3. Net Capital Requirements**
The Company is subject to the SEC 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 12 to 1. In addition, the Rule of the applicable exchange also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends
{15}------------------------------------------------
paid if the resulting indebtedness to net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had net capital of \$312,842 which exceeded required net capital by \$307,842 and the Company's indebtedness to net capital ratio was 0.07 to 1.
#### 4. Related-Party Transactions
The Company has entered into an Expense Sharing and Administrative Services Agreement (the Agreement) with the Parent. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Parent provides management services and other support costs to the Company. These services and costs, primarily payroll and benefits, rent, and other shared services, are allocated and charged to the Company based on estimates of time spent by key personnel and other rational allocation methods and are recorded as "General and administrative - related party" expenses on the Statement of Operations. If the Parent is not reimbursed, the amounts are recorded as capital contributions to the Company by the Parent.
·During the year ended December 31, 2019, capital contributions were made to the Company by the Parent in the amount of \$48,696 related to expenses paid by the Parent on behalf of the Company. The \$52,986 of general and administrative expense sharing costs with the Parent includes cash rent payments by the Company in the amount of \$4,151. There were no outstanding general and administrative expenses due to the Parent as of December 31, 2019.
Further, as discussed in Footnote 2, the Company received advisory fees for performing certain structured transactions throughout the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year, the Company performed such services to an entity in which the Parent owns an equity interest. The Company recognized \$6,600,000 in Advisory fees within the Statement of Operations for the services performed.
#### 5. Operating Leases
The company is the sublessee to one sublease for office space that extends through March 31, 2022 that qualifies as an operating lease. The minimum rental payments for the sublease are as follows:
| Year | Minimum Rental Payments |
|-------|-------------------------|
| 2020 | 4,276 |
| 2021 | 4,404 |
| 2022 | 1,109 |
| Total | 9,789 |
{16}------------------------------------------------
#### **6. Subsequent Events**
On January 2, 2020, the Company was named as the Advisory Agent for a debt financing associated with a residential solar portfolio. As the Advisory Agent, the Company is entitled to 1 % of the aggregate debt consideration together with an addition \$750,000 fee. We will record advisory fees associated with this transaction within the 2020 Statement of Operations. The transaction is with an entity in which the Parent owns an equity interest.
The Company evaluated subsequent events through March 2, 2020, the date the financial statements were issued. The Company has determined there are no material events or transactions that would affect their financial statements or require disclosure in their financial statements.
