# **LEONIS SECURITIES, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2018**

#### **NOTE '1 -NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

Nature of Business: Leonis Securities, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed on May 25, 2016 and is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") since September 19, 2016.

The Company's primary business is investment banking services and it operates under the provisions of paragraph (k)(2)(i) of Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company does not hold funds or securities for customers and does not carry customer accounts.

Income Taxes: The Company is wholloy-owned by Leonis Principal LLC ("Parent"). As a limited liability corporation, the tax consequences of the Company's operations all pass through to the member. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements do not include a provision for income taxes.

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this provision, the Company is required to evaluate each of its tax positions to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective position. A tax position includes an entity's status, including its status as a pass-through entity, and the decision not to file a return. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that no provision or liability for income taxes is necessary.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates in determining assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash: The Company maintains its deposits in high credit quality financial institutions. Balances at times may exceed insured limits.

Date of Management's Review: Subsequent events were evaluated through date the financial statements were issued.

Revenue Recognition: Investment banking revenues are recognized in accordance with terms agreed upon with each client and are generally based on ( 1) a percentage of capital raised or (2) profit allocated and management fees earned by a client on funds received from investors introduced by the Company.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), has issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP (FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606). The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018.

The standard's core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers 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. ASU 2014-09 prescribes a five-step process to accomplish this core principle, including:

- Identification of the contract with the customer;
- Identification of the performance obligation(s) under the contract;
- Determination of transaction price;
- Allocation of the transaction price to the identified performance obligation(s); and

# **LEONIS SECURITIES, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2018**

#### **NOTE '1 -NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**

#### Revenue Recognition (continued):

• Recognition *ot* revenue as (olf when) an entity satisfies the identified performance obligation(s).

The Company recognizes revenue upon completion of a success fee-based transaction as this satisfies the only performance obligation identified in accordance with this standard.

Application of the standard in 2018 using the modified retrospective approach had no effect on reported financial position, results of operations or related disclosures.

#### **NOTE 2 -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 , 2018, the Company had net capital of \$80,380 which was \$75,380 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was .14 to 1 .

#### **NOTE 3 -RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company has an expense sharing agreement with its Parent. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company pays the Parent for allocated expenses such as personnel services, occupancy and other administrative costs provided to the Company. Allocated expenses amounted to \$114,332 for the year ended December 31 , 2018. The balance due to the Parent on the accompanying statement of financial condition arose from this expense sharing agreement.

The Company relies on referrals form its Parent for its customers and revenue.

#### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Member of Leonis Securities, LLC

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Broker Dealers Annual Exemption Report in which (1) Leonis Securities, LLC identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. § l5c3-3(k) under which Leonis Securities, LLC claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. § 240.l5c3-3: (k)(2)(i) (the "exemption provisions"); and, (2) Leonis Securities, LLC stated that Leonis Securities, LLC met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. Leon is Securities, LLC's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about Leonis Securities, LLC's compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(i), of Rule I Sc3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
