# Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Manager and Member Old Mission Markets LLC

# Opinion on the Financial Statement

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Old Mission Markets LLC (the Company) as of December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statement). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31 , 2023, 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 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

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.

### **Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

**Description of Business:** Old Mission Markets LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Company), is a registered broker-dealer engaged in firm trading on a proprietary basis for its own account and provides brokerage services to an affiliate. The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), with its office of operations localed in Chicago, Illinois and New York. New York. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Old Mission Financial Services, LLC (Parent). The Parent is a Delaware limited liability company which has elected to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation.

**Management Estimates and Assumptions:** The preparation of financial statements in confonnity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment. Accounting estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the operating environment changes.

**Due from Clearing Brokers:** Receivables from clearing brokers consists of cash accounts, amounts borrowed on margin, amounts owed or collectible on unsettled transactions, unrealized gain or loss on contracts for difference, dividends receivable or payable, and interest receivable or payable. The Company may obtain short-term financing from clearing brokers from whom it can borrow against its proprietary inventory positions, subject to collateral maintenance requirements. The Company's trades and contracts are cleared through a broker-dealer and settled daily. Because of this daily settlement, the amount of unsettled credit exposures is limited to the amount owed the Company for a very short period of time. The Company continually reviews the credit quality of its counterparties.

**Revenue Recognition:** The Company buys and sells securities for its own account. The profit or loss is measured by the difference between the acquisition cost and the selling price or current market or fair value. Trading gains and losses, which are composed of both realized and unrealized gains and losses, and related expenses are presented net on the statement of operations. Proprietary securities transactions in regular-way trades are recorded on the trade date, as if they had settled. Profit and loss arising from all securities transactions entered into for the account and risk of the Company are recorded on a trade-date basis.

The Company has adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which establishes principals for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the Company's contracts to provide services to its customers. ASC 606 requires the Company to follow a five step process: (1 ) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies its performance obligations. All arrangements involving the performance of services to customers are within the scope of the guidance.

The Company executes trades on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into a transaction, the Company may charge a commission. Commissions are recorded on a trade-date basis as securities transactions occur. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date, as once the underlying security is identified, the pricing and settlement has already been determined. As of December 31, 2023 there is a current receivable of \$44,053 due from customers. This amount is included in receivables from clearing brokers.

Dividends and **Interest:** Dividend income and expense are recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expense are recognized on the accrual basis.

**Rebates:** Rebates consist of volume discounts, credits or payments received from exchanges or other market places related to the placement and/or removal of liquidity from the order flow in the marketplace. Rebates are recorded on an accrual basis and are included net within brokerage, exchange, and clearance fees, net on the statement of operations.

Income **Taxes:** The Company is a disregarded entity for tax purposes. The Company has adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes which eliminates any requirement of the Parent to allocate the consolidated amount of the current and deferred tax expense to the Company. As such, the Company does not pay Federal or state income taxes on its taxable income. The Parent has elected to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation and does pay Federal and state income taxes on its taxable income.

The Company has a tax sharing agreement with the Parent whereby it reimburses the Parent an estimated amount for federal, state, and local income taxes incurred from the results of the Company's operations in the Parent's consolidated tax returns. Although the Company does not prepare a stand-alone tax provision, it estimates that the Company's effective tax rate would be similar to the rate charged to it by the Parent were a stand-alone tax provision prepared.

GMP requires management to evaluate income tax positions taken by the Company and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Company has taken an uncertain income tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other tax authorities. Management has analyzed the income tax positions taken by the Company, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2023, there are no uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company is subject to routine audits by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities for the current and prior three years. There are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

Short **Sales:** The Company may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When the Company sells **a** security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker -dealer through which it made the sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Company sold short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale. Such transactions are reflected as financial instruments sold but not yet purchased in the accompanying statement of financial condition.

**Foreign Currencies:** Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and revenue and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Company does not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on financial instruments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of financial instruments held.

**Offsetting:** As of December 31 , 2023, the Company holds derivative instruments that are eligible for offset in the statement of financial condition. A right of offset exists when the amounts owed by the Company to another party are determinable, the Company has the right to offset the amounts owed with the amounts owed by the other party, the Company intends to offset and the Company's right of offset is enforceable at law under the same master netting arrangement.

### **Note 1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)**

**Measurement of Credit Losses** on **Financial Instruments:** The Company evaluates all financial assets that are measured at amortized cost for credit losses under the Current Expected Credit Losses model. Financial assets evaluated include cash, receivables from clearing brokers, and other receivables. Expected credit losses are measured based on historical experience, current conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Due to the short duration of the financial assets, there are no material estimates of credit losses related to these financial assets as of December 31, 2023.

**Segment Reporting:** In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,· which expands reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of a segment's profit or loss. The ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Additionally, ASU 2023-07 requires all segment profit or loss and assets disclosures to be provided on an annual and interim basis. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, or in fiscal 2025 for the Company, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning one year later. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments must be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The adoption of this guidance will not affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows and the Company is currently evaluating the effect the guidance will have on its disclosures.

## **Note 2. Receivables from Clearing Brokers**

Receivable from clearing brokers at December 31 , 2023, consists of the following:

|                          | Receivables      |  |
|--------------------------|------------------|--|
| Cash                     | \$<br>14,714,148 |  |

| Total                    | \$<br>14,383,402 |  |

Securities owned, cash and financial instruments held at the Company's clearing broker collateralize securtties sold, not yet purchased and amounts due to clearing brokers, if any, and may serve to satisfy regulatory capital or margin requirements. Pledged instruments that can be sold by the secured party are identified in the statement of financial condttion.

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

# **Note 3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Inputs are broadly defined as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. A significant adjustment to a Level 2 input could result in the Level 2 measurement becoming a Level 3 measurement.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information in the circumstances and may require significant management judgment or estimation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the financial instrument. The following section describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure different financial instruments at fair value and includes the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the financial instrument is categorized.

The fair value of equity securities traded on a national exchange, or reported on the NASDAQ national market, is based on the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. The fair value of equity securities not traded on a national exchange, or reported on the NASDAQ national market, is based on the price from the closing mark from the exchange the security last traded on. If the security is untraded the closing price is set to the bid. These financial instruments are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Contracts for differences are traded on the OTC market. The fair value of contracts for differences is derived by taking the difference between the quoted price of the underlying security and the contract price. Contracts for differences are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

During the course of the year, the Company had foreign currencies receivable from or payable to its clearing broker. Their values were based using third party observable data and are categorized in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company assesses the levels of securities at each measurement day, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event of change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

The Company had no Level 3 assets or liabilities at December 31 , 2023.

Substantially all of the Company's other financial assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments and are either already at fair value, or at carrying amounts that approximate fair value because of the short maturity of the assets or liabilities.

### **Note 4. Financial Instruments**

**Derivatives:** Derivative financial instruments used for trading purposes, including economic hedges of trading instruments, are carried at fair value. The Company does not apply hedge accounting as defined in the FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as all the financial instruments are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in earnings.

# **Note 5. Summary of Off-Balance Sheet Risks**

**Margin:** The Company's activities may be transacted on either a cash or margin basis. In margin transactions, credit is extended to the Company, and is subject to various regulatory and internal margin requirements, collateralized by cash and securities in the Company's account. Such transactions may expose the Company to significant off-balance sheet risk in the event margin requirements are not sufficient to fully cover losses that the Company may incur. The Company monitors required margin levels and, pursuant to such guidelines, may deposit additional collateral or reduce positions when necessary.

{12}------------------------------------------------

# **Notes to Statement of Financial Condition**

## **Note 5. Summary of Off-Balance Sheet Risks (Continued)**

**Concentrations of Credit Risk:** The Company engages in various trading activities in which counterparties primarily include broker-dealers, banks, and other financial 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 review. as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty.

**Cash:** The Company regularly maintains cash balances that exceed Federal Depository Insurance Corporation limits. The Company has not incurred any losses on these accounts in the past and does not expect any such loss in the future.

Contracts for Difference: The Company enters into contracts for differences arrangements with brokerdealers. Contracts for differences arrangements involve an agreement by the Company and a counterparty to exchange the difference between the opening and closing price of the position underlying the contract, which is generally an equity security. Therefore, amounts required for the future satisfaction of the contracts for differences may be greater or less than the amount recorded.

**Market Risk:** Market risk is the potential change in an instrument's value caused by fluctuations in interest rates, equity prices, credit spreads, volatilities, correlations, liquidity, or other risks. Exposure to market risk is influenced by a number of factors, including the relationships between financial instruments and the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which financial instruments are traded. In many cases, the use of derivative financial instruments serves to modify or offset market risk associated with other transactions and accordingly, serves to decrease the Company's overall exposure to market risk. The Company utilizes various analytical monitoring techniques to control its exposure to market risk.

# **Note 6.** Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide indemnifications under certain circumstances. The Company's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. The Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for these indemnifications.

# **Note** 7. **Related-Party Transactions**

The Company has entered into an expense sharing arrangement with Old Mission Capital LLC (OMC). Under the agreement OMC pays all monthly expenses and is subsequently reimbursed by the Company. As of December 31 , 2023 there is a current payable of \$2,460,559 between the Company and OMC. This amount is included in payables to affiliates on the statement of financial condition.

The Company and its affiliated companies (The Affiliated Group) through common ownership entered into a cooperation agreement to apply transfer pricing methods to allocate revenues and expenses amongst The Affiliated Group. The Cooperation Agreement calls for The Affiliated Group to provide trading services to each other and in return shall be allocated its respective portion of net profits or losses generated in the accounts of the members of The Affiliated Group. As of December 31, 2023 the Company has a payable of \$1 ,910,786 due to Old Mission Group, LLC which is an affiliate, for this cooperation allocation and other services.

The Company is engaged in market maker activities which, as provided by the Rule, require the Company to maintain minimum net capital equal to \$2,500 for each security over \$5 and \$1 ,000 for each security under \$5 in which it makes a market with a limit of \$1 ,000,000. The Company uses the greater of the minimum net capital requirement per the computation of the aggregate indebtedness or the market maker standard.
