# **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Member of Wombat Capital Markets LLC

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Wombat Capital Markets LLC (the "Company") as of December 31 , 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the statement of financial condition presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31 , 2019 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 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. 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 Wombat Capital Markets LLC's auditor since 2014.

#### **Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies**

### Basis of accounting and use of estimates

These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") which 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 statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

#### Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are comprised of receivables for fees and at times expense reimbursements. The Company evaluates collectability of its accounts receivable and determines if an allowance for uncollectible accounts is necessary based on historical payment information or known customer financial concerns. There was no allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2019.

#### Income taxes

The Company is a single member limited liability company for federal, state, and local income tax purposes. As such, the Company is a disregarded entity for tax purposes and does not record a provision for income taxes. The Company's income or loss is included in the tax return of its Member.

#### Uncertain Tax Positions

Pursuant to GAAP, the Company recognized no material adjustments to liabilities or member's equity. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits would be classified in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations.

The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and related interest and penalties expenses.

#### **Note** 7 - **New Accounting Pronouncement**

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends the FASB's guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The ASU adds to United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of lifetime expected credit losses, which the F ASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The ASU is also intended to reduce the complexity of U.S. GAAP by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. Further, the ASU makes targeted changes to the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The new CECL standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. Management is currently evaluating the effect of adopting the new standard and expects that the impact to the Company's financial statements will be minimal.
