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

To the Sole Member of LUMA Securities LLC

**Opinion on the Financial Statement** 

#### Prager Metis CPAs, LLC

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of LUMA Securities LLC (the "Company") as of September 30, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LUMA Securities LLC as of September 30, 2024 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 the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) 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. 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.

Prager Metis CPAs, LLC We have served as LUMA Securities LLC's auditor since 2023. Basking Ridge, New Jersey November 27, 2024

# **Notes to the Statement of Financial Condition**

*September 30, 2024* 

### **1. Business Organization**

LUMA Securities LLC (the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of LUMA Partners LLC (the "Parent"), is a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is registered as a broker-dealer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company provides unique strategic counseling and investment banking services to companies in the technology industry.

The Company shall continue until the earlier of (i) the written consent by the Parent that the Company should be dissolved, or (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all assets of the Company.

The liability of the member or Parent is limited to the capital held by the Company.

### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

The following summary of the Company's major accounting policies is presented to assist in the interpretation of the financial statement.

*Basis of preparation* - The financial statement was prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") as detailed in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").

*Revenue recognition* - The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

The Company earns revenue by way of advisory fees from investment banking, which include retainers and success fees. The Company may also earn finder's fees and underwriting fees. Revenue from services provided are recognized at the time there is persuasive evidence that the Company's services have been substantially completed pursuant to the terms of an engagement letter, the fee is determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Interest income is recorded as earned.

### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

Unearned retainer fees are included in deferred income on the statement of financial condition, have already been received and are expected to be recognized as revenue in a future period.

Deferred income is typically recognized upon closing of a transaction or if the customer terminates the engagement. Typical payment terms are as follows: retainers are received upon execution of engagement letters with customers and success fees are received upon closing of transactions. Fee amounts are calculated in accordance with the underlying agreements with customers. Substantially all revenues earned by the Company are from customers in the technology industry.

*Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses -* The Company's accounts receivable, if any, would primarily consist of balances due from customers for fee income, are carried at amortized cost less the allowance for credit losses. Account balances outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The credit risk associated with receivables is that any customer with which it conducts business is unable to fulfill contractual obligations. The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of such receivables in accordance with GAAP guidance. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. Management monitors the credit risk of customers, including historical experience, current conditions, reasonable assurance and supportable forecasts to determine expected credit loss. As of September 30, 2024, there are no accounts receivable, and no corresponding allowance recorded.

*Income taxes* - Since the Company is a single member limited liability company, it is disregarded for income tax purposes and, therefore, no federal, state or local income taxes are provided or considered for the purpose of the financial statement. The financial results of the Company are included in the tax return of the Parent.

The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statement. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained "when challenged" or "when examined" by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the morelikely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense and liability in the current year. Management has evaluated the Company's tax positions and concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statement to comply with the provisions of this guidance as of September 30, 2024. The Company is not currently under audit by any tax jurisdiction.

### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

*Use of estimates -* The preparation of financial statement in conformity with GAAP 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 statement and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

### **3. Transactions with Related Parties**

The Company maintains a services agreement with the Parent (the "Services Agreement"). Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Parent provides accounting, administration, information technology, compliance services, office space, employee services and other services at a cost of \$33,085 per month. Generally, the Company settles the amount owed to the Parent monthly. As of September 30, 2024, the amount due to Parent is \$33,085, which is included on the statement of financial condition. The Services Agreement may be terminated upon the mutual agreement of the Company and the Parent.

All transactions with related parties are settled in the normal course of business. The terms of any of these arrangements may not be the same as those that would otherwise exist or result from agreements and transactions among unrelated parties.

### **4**. **Regulatory Requirements**

The Company is subject to SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (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 1. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$646,233 which was \$546,233 in excess of its minimum requirement of \$100,000. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital as of September 30, 2024 was 0.23:1.

The Company does not hold customers' cash or securities. As such, it is not affected by SEC Rule 15c3-3.

### **5. Contract Liabilities**

For each contract with customers which includes an upfront retainer fee, any unearned retainer fees are included in deferred revenue on the statement of financial condition. The deferred revenue amount represents the Company's contract liabilities which results from the timing of revenue recognition. The following table provides information about contract liabilities from contracts with customers.

| Deferred revenue balance, beginning of year                         | \$<br>75,000  |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
| Increase in deferred revenue from receipts of upfront retainer fees | 175,000       |
| Revenue recognized during the year from deferred revenue            | (175,00<br>0) |
| Deferred revenue balance, end of year                               | \$<br>75,000  |

### **6. Concentrations**

All cash deposits are held by one custodian bank and therefore are subject to the credit risk at that financial institution to the extent the balances are in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe there to be any significant credit risk with respect to these deposits.

### **7. Indemnifications**

The Company has certain obligations to indemnify its managers and officers for certain events and occurrences while the manager or officers are, or were, serving at the Company's request in such capacities. The maximum liability under these obligations is unlimited; however, the Company's insurance policies serve to further limit its exposure.

### **8. Subsequent Events**

Management of the Company has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since September 30, 2024, through the date of issuance of this financial statement, and determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure in the Company's financial statement.
