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

To the Member and Board of Directors of Sunthay GRX LLC

### **Opinion on the Financial Statement**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Sunthay GRX LLC as of December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sunthay GRX LLC 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 Sunthay GRX LLC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Sunthay GRX LLC's 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 Sunthay GRX 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 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 statement. 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 Sunthay GRX LLC's auditor since 2022. New York, New York February 27, 2023

The accompanying notes are an integral part of this financial statement.

{6}------------------------------------------------

#### **1. Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies**

#### *Nature of Business*

Sunthay GRX LLC ("Sunthay GRX" or the "Company") is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware on April 14, 2021. On May 3, 2022, the Company was granted membership by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of FINRA. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunthay Holdings LLC ("Sunthay Holdings"). The Company refers business to another broker-dealer.

#### *Basis of Presentation*

The Company's financial statement has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

#### *Use of Estimates*

The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 statement. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

#### *Revenue Recognition*

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606").* The revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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.

The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

#### *Allowance for Credit Losses*

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13, *Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326).* The ASU introduces a new credit loss methodology, Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL"), which requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk. Since its original issuance in 2016, the FASB has issued several updates to the original ASU.

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

### **1. Nature of operations and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)**

#### *Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)*

The CECL methodology utilizes a lifetime "expected credit loss" measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for certain financial assets at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. The methodology replaces the multiple existing impairment methods in current U.S.GAAP, which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized

For certain financial assets measured at amortized cost (e.g., cash and cash equivalents), the Company has concluded that there are de minimus expected credit losses based on the nature and contractual life or expected life of the financial assets.

#### **2. Related party transactions**

Sunthay GRX and Sunthay Holdings entered into an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Expense Sharing Agreement"). In accordance with the Expense Sharing Agreement, Sunthay GRX reimburses Sunthay Holdings on a monthly basis for a proportional share of expenses as detailed in the agreement. The expenses associated with the Agreement include occupancy, salaries and personnel costs, travel and entertainment, professional fees, and other.
