In our opinion, the statement of financial condition 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. #### **Going Concern Uncertainty** The accompanying financial statement has been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statement, the Company did not generate revenues during 2021 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. #### **Basis for Opinion** This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management.

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. We have served as the Company's auditor since 2019.

Organization** Justly Markets LLC (the "Company") formerly known as DBOT ATS, LLC was formed in the state of Delaware in August 2011, as a broker/dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Justly Holdings Inc. ("the Parent"). The Company's Parent was acquired by ldeanomics, Inc. ("IDEX") in the third quarter 2019. In March 2021, FINRA approved the Company's Continuing Membership Agreement ("CMA") application and a revised Membership Agreement that expanded the Company's business lines to include acting as a private placement agent and operating a funding portal to allow issuers to offer Regulation A+ and D offerings in addition to operating the Alternative Trading System. In September 2021, the Company submitted a Material Consultation Request with FINRA to expand its business activities to include offerings pursuant to Regulation CF. FINRA concluded that such business expansion does not constitute a material change in the Company's business operations, thereby permitting the Company to offer Regulation CF offerings. The Company did not generate revenues during 2021 which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company relied on member contributions to fund operations for 2021. If the Parent cannot continue to provide working capital, the Company will de-register as a broker-dealer. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company relies on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 and accordingly is exempt from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. ### 2. **Significant Accounting Policies** ### **Basis of Financial Statement Presentation** The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). {8}------------------------------------------------ # **Justly Markets LLC Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2021** In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements Actual results will differ from such estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements. ### **Cash and Cash Equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments, including deposits in banks with original maturities of three months or less. No cash equivalents were held at December 31, 2021. ### **Intangible Assets** Intangible assets consist of the fair value of the FINRA CMA. In accordance with ASC 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other" and as a result of an independent valuation firm's purchase price analysis, the CMA was determined to be an indefinite-lived intangible asset with a fair value of \$76,992 using the cost approach. The Company assesses intangible assets for impairment annually. In testing the Company's intangible assets for impairment, the Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible assets is less than the carrying amount. If the assessment determines that is more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the Company must perform additional testing of the asset. The Company's assessment of its intangible asset has determined that there was no impairment of the asset for the year ended December 31, 2021. ### **Income Taxes** The Company is a single member limited liability company and is a disregarded entity for U.S. Federal and state tax purposes. The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) which simplifies accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles. The ASU amends the guidance to specify that an entity is not required to allocate income tax expense to a legal entity that is both not subject to tax and disregarded by the taxing authority. Therefore, the Company has not reflected federal, state, or city taxes for the year ended December 31, 2021. {9}------------------------------------------------ # **Justly Markets LLC Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2021** # 3. **Concentration of Risk** The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution, which at times may exceed the FDIC limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. # 4. **Related-Party Transactions** The Company has an Expense Sharing Agreement (the "Agreement") with its Parent, as amended, under which the Parent provides services of certain of its employees, office space, the use of equipment and other services as may be required by the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Parent allocated to the Company expense of \$25,800 during 2021. During 2021, the Parent also paid \$680,075 of direct expenses on behalf of the Company. The allocated expenses and direct expenses totaling \$705,875 were capitalized by the Company as additional capital contributions from the Parent and are included in Member's Equity in the Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2021. # 5. **Net Capital Requirements** The Company is subject to SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of a minimum net capital, as defined, equal to the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness. At December 31 , 2021 , the Company had a net capital of \$192,762 which was \$187,762 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. ### 6. **Subsequent Events** For disclosure purposes in the financial statements, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There are no material events that would require adjustments to, or disclosure in, the Company's financial statements. Source: SEC EDGAR via Adviser Search (https://search.stillhousedata.com).
