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

To the Member of Leonis Securities, LLC

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Leonis Securities, LLC (the "Company") as of December 31 , 2020, the related statements of operations, changes in member's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31 , 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

### Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements 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 statements are 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 to the financial statements, 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 statements. 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 statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### Supplemental Information

The information contained in Schedules I, II and III has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the information in Schedules I, II and III reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the accompanying schedules. In forming our opinion on the accompanying schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented

{4}------------------------------------------------

in conformity with 17 C.F.R. §240. l 7a-5. In our opinion, the aforementioned supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2016.

## **Leonis Securities, LLC Notes To Financial Statements December 31, 2020**

#### **NOTE "I - 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. As a limited liability company, the member's liability is limited to their investment.

Income Taxes: The Company is wholly-owned by Leonis Principal LLC ("Member"). As a limited liability company, 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 bank accounts in a high credit quality financial institution. The balances at times may exceed federally insured limits.

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

Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable consists primarily of trade receivables for investment banking services. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable for any uncollectible amounts. The review for uncollectible amounts is based on the Company's collection experience, customer credit worthiness and current economic trends.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue from contracts with customers includes placement and advisory services. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

The Company provides placement and advisory services related to capital raising activities and mergers and acquisitions transactions. Revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the agreement is completed (the closing date of transaction)

### **NOTE "I - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**

#### Revenue Recognition (continued):

or the contract is cancelled. However, for certain contracts, revenue is recognized over time for advisory arrangements in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. In some circumstances, significant judgement is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract. Retainers and other fees received from customers prior to recognizing the revenue are reflected as deferred revenue.

The Company recognizes success fee revenues from investment banking capital raising services and merger and acquisition advisory services upon completion of a success fee based transaction. The Company recognizes retainer revenue from contracts with customers upon delivery of a list of possible participants to the transaction and delivery of certain marketing materials as these are the performance obligations identified by the Company in accordance with this standard.

#### **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 as well as a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital that shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31 , 2020, the Company had net capital of \$955,854 which was \$950 ,854 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was .08 to 1.

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

The Company has an expense sharing agreement with its Member. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company pays the Member for allocated expenses such as personnel services, occupancy and other administrative costs provided to the Company. Allocated expenses amounted to \$907,101 for the year ended December 31 , 2020. The balance due to the Member on the accompanying statement of financial condition arose from this expense sharing agreement.

The Company relies on referrals from its Member for its customers and revenue.

Financial position and results of operations might differ from the amounts in the accompanying financial statements if this agreement did not exist.

#### **NOTE 4 -CONTINGENCIES**

The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of business. The Company has no litigation in progress at December 31 , 2020.

#### **NOTE 5 -CONCENTRATIONS**

Approximately 79% of revenues earned during 2020 were from five customers.

#### **Note 6 - Economic Risks**

In March 2020 , the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This pandemic event has resulted in significant business disruption and uncertainty in both global and U.S. markets. While the Company believes that it is in an appropriate position to sustain the potential shortterm effects of these world-wide events, the direct and long-term impact to the Company and its financial statements is undetermined at this time.
