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

To the Member of Olimpia Partners (USA), LLC

## **Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Olimpia Partners (USA), LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021, 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, 2021 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. 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 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.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2020.

## **Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2021**

## **1. Organization and Nature of Business**

Olimpia Partners (USA) LLC (the "Company") is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA) effective August 18, 2020. The Company is located in the state of California and was organized as a limited liability company (LLC) in the state of Delaware on May 21, 2018. As a limited liability company, the members' liability is limited to their equity contributions. The Company provides private placements of securities (as placement agent only) and merger and acquisition (M&A) advisory services to its customers.

# **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

## Basis of presentation

The Company maintains its books and records on the accrual basis of accounting for financial reporting purposes, which is in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which is required by the SEC and FINRA.

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer.

## Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are non-interest-bearing uncollateralized obligations receivable in accordance with the terms agreed upon with each client. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable for any uncollectible amounts. The review for uncollectible amounts is based on an analysis of the Company's collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. There was no accounts receivable as of December 31, 2021.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," which introduced an expected credit loss model for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost. The model replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets and broadens the information an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured at amortized cost. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective approach with no material impact to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

## Revenue from contracts with customers

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). Under ASC 606 revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of performance obligations by transferring control over goods or service to a customer.

{7}------------------------------------------------

## **Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2021**

# **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

Revenue from private placements and M&A advisory services 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.

#### Income taxes

The Company, as a limited liability company, is taxed as a partnership. The members are responsible for reporting their share of the Company's net income/loss on their individual income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is provided in the financial statements. The members file income tax returns in the U.S. in both federal jurisdiction and state jurisdictions.

#### Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

## **3. Net Capital Requirements**

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had net capital of \$60,306 which was \$55,306 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was .014 to 1.

## **4. Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan**

On March 27, 2020, former President Trump signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (the "CARES Act"), which, among other things, outlines the provisions of the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP"). The Company determined that it met the criteria to be eligible to obtain a loan under the PPP because, among other reasons, considering the COVID-19 outbreak and the uncertainty of economic conditions related thereto, the loan was considered necessary to support the Company's ongoing operations. In addition, former President Trump

{8}------------------------------------------------

# **Olimpia Partners (USA) LLC**

## **Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2021**

## **4. Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan (continued)**

signed into law the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act on April 24, 2020, which increased funding provided by the CARES Act. On May 18, 2020, the Company issued a promissory note (the "Note") to Bank of America in the principal aggregate amount of \$16,315 (the "PPP Loan") pursuant to the PPP under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). On June 5, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act was signed into law and extended the program until December 31, 2020.

Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all, or a portion of loan granted under the program. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds.

The Company submitted its application for 100% loan forgiveness in January of 2021.

In July of 2021 the loan was 100% forgiven by the SBA. As a result, the Company recorded a non-operating gain on the forgiveness of the loan in the amount of \$16,315.

#### **5. Subsequent Events**

Management evaluated subsequent events through February 2**,** 2022, the date the financial statements were issued.
