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

To the Sole Member of McDonnaugh Securities LLC

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of McDonnaugh Securities LLC (the "Company") as of June 30, 2024, the related statements of operations, changes in member's equity, and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2024, 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 June 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the for the year ended June 30, 2024, 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.

#### **Emphasis of Matter**

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the Financial Statements, the Company has incurred net losses since inception. In addition, the Company's net loss for the year ended June 30, 2024, exceeded its net capital as of June 30, 2024. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 3. The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our report is not modified with respect to this matter.

The Supplementary Information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the Supplementary 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 Supplementary Information. In forming our opinion on the Supplementary Information, we evaluated whether the Supplementary Information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R.§ 240.17a-5.

Statement of Cash Flows For the Year Ended June 30, 2024

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements

{10}------------------------------------------------

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

MacDonnaugh Securities LLC (the "Company") is a securities broker-dealer located in Baldwin, New York. It is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), both effective October 7, 2020. The Company is a single-member limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 2, 2018.

The Company had a de minimis amount of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2024. Its lines of business include: 1) the execution of customers' securities transactions, which are cleared on a fully-disclosed basis through its clearing broker; and 2) retailing mutual funds, corporate debt securities, and corporate equity securities over-the-counter.

The Company has incurred net losses since commencing operations in October 2020. It has prepared a Liquidity and Funding Plan for the upcoming year. See Note 3.

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

#### **Basis of Presentation**

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").

#### **Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts expensed during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### **Revenue Recognition**

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with *ASC 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"* The Company had a de minimis amount of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2024.

#### **Cash**

The Company maintains its cash account at a single commercial bank located in the United States. Throughout the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company's cash balance was fully protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage of \$250,000.

#### **Clearing Agreements**

The Company has a clearing agreement with Interactive Brokers which had a receivable that amounted to \$5,835 of June 30, 2024.

#### **Accounts receivable**

The Company records an allowance for credit losses, if appropriate, based upon the Company's assessment of relevant collectability factors, in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL"). This standard requires the immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected over the life of applicable financial assets. The Company's CECL evaluation considers factors such as historical experience; credit quality; terms; balances; current and projected economic conditions; and other relevant collectability matters. There were no Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 and accordingly no allowance for credit losses.

#### **Income Taxes**

No provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Company is a single member limited liability company, which is treated as a disregarded entity for federal and New York State income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Member is responsible for the federal and state income taxes (benefit) associated with the Company's taxable income (loss).

At June 30, 2024, the Company has determined that it had no uncertain tax positions requiring financial statement recognition. This determination is updated on an ongoing basis as facts and circumstances require. The Company's tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities in the applicable jurisdictions per the established statutes of limitations, normally three years prior to the current period, meaning all periods since inception in October 2020.

#### **LLC**

A limited liability company is a hybrid business entity that combines the taxation feature of a flow-through entity, such as a partnership or sole proprietorship, with the loss limitation feature of a corporation. The Member's liability for the Company is generally limited to its equity balance plus any specific guarantees.

Notes to Financial Statements June 30, 2024

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

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

### **Professional fees and Clearance fees**

The Company records accounting, audit and other professional services fees in the period that the associated services are performed. Clearance fees represent minimum monthly fees charged by the Company's clearing broker under a written services agreement.

#### **Exemption from SEC Rule 15c3-3**

The Company's policy is to operate within the exemption provisions of SEC Rule 15c3-3 paragraph (k)(2)(ii).

## **3. Liquidity and Funding Plan**

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which GAAP standards define as a minimum of one year from the date of their issuance, meaning through October 11, 2024. The Company has not generated revenue, except for a de minimis amount of revenue, during the current period since commencing operations in October 2020. The Company's net losses for the periods ended June 30, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021 each exceeded its net capital balance as of June 30 2024. The Company will require funding from its Member in order to continue operations through October 11, 2024.

As a result, the Company's management has determined that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, as defined above. In this situation, GAAP requires the Company to support its classification as a going concern with an appropriate funding plan based upon a realistic assessment.

Accordingly, the Company has evaluated its financial condition as well as a range of strategies. The Company is implementing certain revenue-generating activities and cost reduction efforts to improve operating results. Furthermore, the Member has committed to fund the Company as needed to continue operations through at least October 31, 2025.

There is inherent uncertainty in both the Company's projected operating results and the Member's ability to meet the Company's remaining funding needs due to market risk, interest rate risk, changing economic conditions, external factors and other unknown matters. To address the possibility of a shortfall in its projections, the Company has identified certain cost reduction and funding contingency plans that would be employed to the extent necessary.

## **4. Net Capital Requirement**

The Company is subject to SEC Uniform Net Capital 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. Rule 15c3-1 also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn, or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. At June 30, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$9,302, which was \$4,302 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's precentage aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 183.27%.

#### **5. Related Party Transactions**

The Company has an expense sharing agreement with an affiliated entity ("Affiliate") under common ownership. The Company's share of occupancy, office and support staff costs amounted to \$892 for the year ended June 30, 2024, and \$0 was payable to the Affiliate at June 30, 2024. The owner of the Company and the Affiliate waived the Company's payment of \$1,814 of these costs, which was accounted for as a Member contribution during the year ended June 30, 2024.

The office space is leased by the Affiliate under a short-term lease agreement, which the Company has determined is not subject to the accounting requirements of *ASC 842* , Leases.

#### **6. Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

Regulatory authorities make ongoing revisions to the GAAP standards applicable to the preparation of the Company's financial statements. The Company has evaluated or is currently evaluating the impact of pending GAAP pronouncements. The Company believes that these future standards will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

#### **7. Subsequent Events**

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through October 11, 2024, the date these financial statements were issued. Member contributions amounted to approximately \$45,000 for the period July 01,2024 to October 11,2024. No other subsequent events required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

- 1) The Company claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3 under the following provisions of 17 C.F.R §240.15c3-3 (k): (2) (ii) (exemption provision)

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 the Company's compliance with the exemption provision.

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 provision set forth in paragraph (k) (2) (ii) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
