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

To the Members of ThinkTankTwo Securities LLC

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of ThinkTankTwo Securities LLC (the "Company") as of June 30, 2024, 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 the Company as of June 30, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

### **Basis for Opinion**

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

We have served as ThinkTankTwo Securities LLC's auditor since 2023.

### Notes to Statement of Financial Condition June 30, 2024

#### 1. Nature of operations

Thinktanktwo Securities LLC (the "Company") is a Florida limited liability company. On April 18, 2023, the Company became a broker-dealer and as such is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").

The Company is authorized as a broker-dealer to provide financial and strategic advisory services (including mergers and acquisitions), equity and debt capital raising and arranging private placement offerings.

In addition, the Company has registered as an Alternative Trading System and is awaiting FINRA approval to commence doing so once it is fully acquired by a new owner. Until now, it has not had any meaningful operations.

#### 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

#### Basis of presentation

This financial statement was prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

#### No meaningful operations

Once the Company commences meaningful operations, revenue recognition, accounts receivable and credit losses policies will apply as noted below.

#### Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes 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 standard 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. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

#### Significant judgment:

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 fees 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.

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

### Notes to Statement of Financial Condition June 30, 2024

#### 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

#### Advisory fees:

The Company provides advisory services on capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, and other strategic transactions. Revenue for advisory arrangements is recognized over the time 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. Payment for revenue is due upon invoicing.

#### Cash

All cash deposits are held by one financial institution and therefore are subject to the credit risk at that financial institution and may at times exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe there to be any significant credit risk with respect to these deposits.

#### Income taxes

 The Company is treated as a partnership for tax purposes and therefore is not subject to be taxed for federal and state income tax purposes. To the extent it may operate in a local jurisdiction, such as New York City, it may be subject to Unincorporated Business Taxes unless it reverts to being a single member limited liability company, in which case it would likely be considered to be a disregarded entity for such tax purposes. To date, since the Company has had no income, no Unincorporated Business Taxes have been applicable or been recognized.

 At June 30, 2024, management has determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition. This determination will be subject to ongoing reevaluation as facts and circumstances may require.

#### Accounts receivable

Management reviews all accounts receivable balances, determines a course of action on any delinquent amounts, and provides an allowance for amounts which collection is considered to be doubtful. At June 30, 2024, management believed no valuation allowance was warranted.

#### Allowance for credit losses

ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). ASC 326 impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset. Under ASC 326, the Company could determine there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances (e.g., based on the credit quality of the client).

The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments, including fees and other receivables utilizing the CECL framework. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. Under the standard, the allowance for credit losses must be deducted from the amortized cost of the financial asset to present the net amount expected to be collected.

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

### Notes to Statement of Financial Condition June 30, 2024

#### 3. Regulatory requirements

The Company is subject to SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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, and that the net capital be at least \$5,000. At June 30, 2024, the Company had net capital of approximately \$16,325 which exceeded the required net capital by approximately \$11,325.

The Company does not hold customers' cash or securities and, has no requirements under SEC Rule 15c3-3 and therefore does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of that rule.

#### 4. Related party transactions

An affiliate from time to time pays expenses on behalf of the Company. The Company does not have any obligation to reimburse or otherwise compensate the affiliate for any or all shared costs that the affiliate has paid on behalf of the Company. These costs have not been recorded on the books of the Company.

#### 5. Going concern

Accounting Standards Update 2014-15 requires that management evaluate conditions or events that might raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management has evaluated the Company's conditions and has determined that unless the Company generates enough revenue or continues to be funded by its parent, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Capital is not a significant income producing factor and should the Company have a need for capital, it has been able to rely upon its current majority owner to infuse capital to cover overhead should that become necessary. Its current majority owner has pledged additional support to the Company to enable it to operate for the next year should that become necessary.

#### 6. Subsequent events

Management of the Company has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since June 30, 2024 through the date when the financial statements were issued. The Company applied for approval for a change in ownership and a change in plan for operations, including an ATS. As of August 22, 2024, the Company was sold to Monark Markets, Inc.
