# REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors OneChronos Markets, LLC New York, New York

## Opinion on the Financial Statement

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of OneChronos Markets, LLC (the Company), as of December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statement (collectively referred to as 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, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Basis for Opinion

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys 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 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 statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Companys auditor since 2018.

## 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:

Income Taxes: For federal, state and local income tax purposes, the Company is treated as a single member LLC. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal, state or local income taxes since the taxable income of the Company is to be included in the tax returns of the individual member.

The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained "when challenged" or "when examined" by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense and liability in the current year. Management has evaluated the Company's tax positions and concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statement to comply with the provisions of this guidance as of December 31, 2022. The Company is not currently under audit by any tax jurisdiction.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statement in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Leases: In accordance with ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842), the Company recognizes leases on the balance sheet with lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets based on the present value of lease payments. The Company had not entered into any leases subject to this standard as of December 31, 2022.

Current Expected Credit Losses: In accordance with ASU 2016-13 Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL), the Company uses an expected loss model to determine expected losses for trade and other receivables. At December 31, 2022, the Company had no reserve for expected credit losses.

Subsequent Events: Management has evaluated subsequent events through March 9, 2023, the date the financial statement was issued, and has determined there are no subsequent events to be reported in the accompanying financial statement.
