#### **NOTE** I **-ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS ACTMTY**

GREENLEYS CAPITAL MARKETS LLP (name changed from LXM USA LLP on June 24, 2021) (the "Company") was formed in the State of Delaware as a Limited Liability Partnership ("LLP") on February 15, 2013. The Company's purpose is to carry on a general brokerage and financial business, but more specifically to act as a broker-dealer in marketable securities to its institutional clients. The Company is owned by six individuals who manage a similar business in Europe.

The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company is also a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corp ("SIPC"). The Company operates out of its sole office in New York City.

#### **NOTE 2** - **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES**

#### *BASIS OF PRESENTATION*

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accruaJ basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").

#### *USE OF ESTIMATES*

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

#### *CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS*

The Company has defined cash equivalents as highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days which are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business.

#### *FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS*

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, receivable from affiliated entity, and accounts payable. The fair value of cash is based upon the bank balance at December 31, 2022.

{7}------------------------------------------------

### **GREENLEYS CAPITAL MARKETS LLP NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2022**

### **NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES(CONTINUED)**

#### *FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ]NSTRUMENTS(CONTINUED)*

The fair value of accounts receivable, receivable from affiliated entity and accounts payable is estimated by management to approximate their carrying value at December 31, 2022.

#### *INCOME TAXES*

The Company is a limited liability partnership and is treated as a passthrough entity for income tax reporting purposes. No provision for federal or state income taxes has been made since the Company is not a taxable entity. The members are individually liable for the taxes on their share of the partnership's income or loss. The Company is, however, subject to the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax ("UBT).

The Company recognizes and measures unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes". Under the guidance the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon the examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The Company recognizes and measures unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes". Under the guidance the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon the examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. At December 31, 2022, management determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition.

The Company has a deferred UBT income tax asset of approximately \$55,500 at December 31, 2022 related to net operating loss carry forwards and the current year net loss. A valuation allowance has been established offsetting the \$55,500 as the ultimate realization of these benefits is uncertain. The Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately \$1,388,000 as of December 31, 2022, which begin to expire in 2033.

#### *CREDIT LOSSES*

The Company complies 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).

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

#### **NOTE 2** - **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES(CONTINUED)**

#### *CREDIT LOSSES(CONTJNUED)*

The Company's research fees and commissions (including but not limited to, receivables related to brokerage commissions) are impacted by the new guidance. The Company had accounts receivable of and of \$5,250 and \$1,342 at December 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively.

### **NOTE 3- CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK**

During the year ended December 31, 2022, three customers accounted for 65% of the total revenue.

The Company maintains all of its cash deposits in one financial institution, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not subject to any significant credit risk with respect to these deposits.

The Company will engage in various brokerage activities on which counterparties primarily include broker-dealers, banks, and other fmancial institutions. In the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is the Company's policy to act only as an agent in a transaction and to review the credit standing of each counterparty as necessary.

### **NOTE 4** - **NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-l. This rule 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, and that equity capital may not be withdrawn if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1.

At December 31, 2022, the Company's net capital was \$332,601 which was \$82,601 in excess of its minimum requirement of \$250,000 under SEC Rule 15c3-l. The Company's net capital ratio was 0.085 to 1.

The Company qualifies under the exemptive provisions of Rule *1Sc3-3* under sub-paragraph k(2)(i) as the Company does not carry security accounts for customers or perform custodial functions related to customer securities.
