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

## **To the Managing Member of Speyside Advisors, LLC**

#### **Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Speyside Advisors, LLC as of December 31, 2019,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 Speyside Advisors, LLC as of December 31, 2019, 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 Speyside Advisors, LLC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Speyside Advisors, LLC's financial statements based on our audit. We are <sup>a</sup> public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Speyside Advisors, LLC 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. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on <sup>a</sup> 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 <sup>a</sup> reasonable basis for our opinion.

## **Auditor's Report on Supplemental Information**

The supplemental information contained in Schedule I, Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-lof the Securities and Exchange Commission and Schedule II, Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements Under Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Speyside Advisors, LLC's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of Speyside Advisors, LLC's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information 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 supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with <sup>17</sup> C.F.R. §240.17a-5. In our opinion, the supplemental information contained in Schedule I, Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-lof the Securities and Exchange Commission and Schedule II, Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements Under Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as <sup>a</sup> whole.

#### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

#### **DECEMBER 31, 2019**

# **NOTE <sup>1</sup> -Organization and Nature of Business**

Speyside Advisors, LLC (the "Company"), was formed on May 11, 2017. The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Company operates as a Texas Limited Liability Company ("LLC"). Its member has limited personal liability for the obligations or debts of the entity. The Company commenced its broker-dealer operations on January 18, 2019 and shall continue unless terminated in accordance with its operating agreement. The Company is engaged in providing advisory services involving private placement and mergers and acquisitions for its clients. It is intended that all offerings will be exempt from registration under the provisions of either Regulation D or Rule 144A. The Company operates pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(i) (the Customer Protection Rule) and does not hold customer funds or safe-keep customer securities or engage in the underwriting of securities.

Upon commencing operations, the Company adopted the new accounting standard for revenue for contracts with customers. The Company provides advisory services on mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction) 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 judgment 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 revenue are reflected as contract liabilities. At December 31, 2019, there are no recognized contract liabilities.

### Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2019, the Company had no such investments. The Company maintains is operating cash at a financial institution. At times, the amount on deposit at this institution may exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance ("FDIC"). The Company has not experienced any losses related to amount in excess of FDIC limits.

#### Revenue Recognition

The Company provides advisory services on mergers and acquisitions. Advisory fees represent 100% of revenue earned by the Company. Revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction). 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. Retainers and other fees received from customers prior to recognizing revenue are reflected as deferred revenue.

### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

### **DECEMBER 31, 2019**

# **NOTE <sup>1</sup> -Organization and Nature of Business (Cont.)**

The Company's financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) is the single source of U.S. GAAP. 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company's net income will be taxed at the member level rather than at the corporate level for federal income tax purposes. The Company is subject to state income taxes.

Any potential interest and penalty associated with a tax contingency, should one arise, would be included as a component of income tax expense in the period in which the assessment arises.

The Company's federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination over various statutes of limitations generally ranging from three to five years.

# **NOTE <sup>2</sup> -Net Capital Requirements**

Pursuant to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is required to maintain a minimum net capital, as defined under such provisions. Net capital and the related net capital ratio may fluctuate on a daily basis.

At December 31, 2019, the Company had net capital of \$56,462 and net capital requirements of \$5,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was .0 to 1. The Securities and Exchange Commission permits a ratio of no greater than 15 to 1.

# **NOTE <sup>3</sup> -Possession or Control Requirements**

The Company holds no customer funds orsecurities. There were no material inadequaciesin the procedures followed in adhering to the exemptive provisions of (SEC) Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(i).

# **NOTE <sup>4</sup> -Concentration Risk**

The Company may at various times during the year have cash balances in excess of federally insured limits.

The Company believes that it is not exposed to any significant risk related to cash.

# **NOTE <sup>5</sup> -Related Party Transactions**

The Company and various entities are under common control and the existence of that control creates operating results and financial position significantly different than if the companies were autonomous.

{11}------------------------------------------------

## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

## **DECEMBER 31, 2019**

# **NOTE <sup>6</sup> -Liabilities Subordinated to Claims of General Creditor**

During the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no subordinated liabilities to the claims of general creditors. Accordingly, a statement of changes in liabilities subordinated to claims of general creditors has not been included in these financial statements.

# **NOTE <sup>7</sup> -Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

Upon commencing operations, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Revenue from contracts with customers includes fees from investment banking 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 the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

Other recently issued accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company plans to adopt any new standards in accordance with the standards.

# **NOTE <sup>8</sup> - SIPC Supplemental Reporting**

The Company is exempt from the filing of the SIPC Supplemental Report as net operating revenues are less than \$500,000.

# **NOTE <sup>9</sup> -Commitments and Contingencies**

The Company had no commitments or contingencies that were required to be accrued or disclosed.

# **NOTE <sup>10</sup> -Subsequent Events**

Subsequent events have been evaluated for potential recognition and disclosure through February 25, 2020, which represents the date the financial statements were available for issuance.

Speyside Advisors, 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 Speyside Advisors, LLC's compliance with the exemption provisions. <sup>A</sup> 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 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
