This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this 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.

**(A wholly owned subsidiary of Beacon Securities Limited)**  
**Notes to the Financial Statements**  
**(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)**  
**December 31, 2022**---

# **1. Organization**

Beacon Securities US Limited (“the Company”) was incorporated in Ontario, Canada on October 19, 2018. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Beacon Securities Limited (“the Parent”). The Company is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). The Company computes its regulatory net capital under the basic method of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 15c3-1. The Company acts as a broker-dealer and is exempt from SEC Rule 15c3-3 under paragraph k (2) (ii) as the Company does not maintain customer accounts and clears all customer transactions on a fully disclosed basis with a clearing firm.

Its registered office is as follows:

66 Wellington Street West, Suite 4050

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

# **Basis of Presentation**

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and presented in U.S. dollars. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US 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 statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

# **Cash**

Cash consists of cash in banks and clearing firm. The bank account is held in a Canadian CDIC member institution.

# **Income Taxes**

The Company uses the liability method in providing for income taxes on all transactions that have been recognized in the financial statements. The liability method requires that deferred taxes be adjusted to reflect the enacted tax rates at which future taxable amounts are anticipated to be settled or realized. The effects of tax rate changes on future deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, as well as other changes in income tax laws, are recognized in net loss in the period such change occurs. The measurement of a deferred tax asset is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize tax benefits only to the extent that, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that they will be realized.

No deferred tax asset has been recognized as the Company does not have sufficient taxable profits available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The Company has not yet started generating revenue.

# **3. Member's Equity**

The Company has an unlimited number of authorized common stock, of which 1 is issued and outstanding. For the period ended December 31, 2022, the Company has received a total of $50,000 in capital contributions from the Parent with no consideration provided in return.

These financial statements and supplemental schedules are deemed confidential pursuant to subparagraph (e)(3) of Rule 17a-5 of the Securities Exchange Commission.

**Notes to the Financial Statements**  
**(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)**  
**December 31, 2022**---

# **4. Expense Sharing Agreement**

On November 11, 2020 the Company and the Parent entered into an Administrative Services Agreement (the “Expense Sharing Agreement”). In accordance with the Expense Sharing Agreement, the Company reimburses the Parent, on a monthly basis, for a proportional share of salaries and related expenses of personnel employed by the Parent who provide services to the Company. The Company has reimbursed the Parent $65,799 of which $3,936 is included as Due to Parent on the accompanying statement of financial condition.

# **5. Income Taxes**

The Company is a corporation incorporated, under the laws of the Province of Ontario and accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed as the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on presently enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax assets when it is deemed more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a deferred tax asset, primarily related to its net operating carryforward losses, of approximately $603,960 and has recorded a full valuation allowance. The net operating losses will begin to expire in the following manner.

| December 31, 2038 | $53 |
| --- | --- |
| December 31, 2039 | $14,477 |
| December 31, 2040 | $53,749 |
| December 31, 2041 | $205,473 |
| December 31, 2042 | $330,208 |

Uncertain tax positions are recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, on the basis of a two-step process, whereby (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not the tax positions would be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position taken and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company would recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon the ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not recorded any uncertain tax positions or interest and penalties.

# **6. Clearing deposit and due from clearing broker**

The statement of financial condition includes a clearing deposit of $125,134 that the Company maintains with its clearing broker. For the period ended December 31, 2022, the entity did not engage in any trading activities.

These financial statements and supplemental schedules are deemed confidential pursuant to subparagraph (e)(3) of Rule 17a-5 of the Securities Exchange Commission.

**December 31, 2022**---

# **7. Net Capital Requirements**

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule ('Rule 15c3-1') of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital equal to the greater of $250,000 and the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 8 to 1 for the first year and then 15 to 1 thereafter. At December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of $398,124 which exceeded the required net capital minimum of $250,000 by $148,124. At December 31, 2022, the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was .06 to 1.

# **8. Commitments and Contingencies**

The Company's customers' securities transactions are introduced on a fully-disclosed basis to its clearing broker. The clearing broker carries all of the customers' accounts and is responsible for collection and payment of funds and receipt and delivery of securities relative to customer transactions. These transactions may expose the Company to off-balance-sheet risk, wherein the clearing broker may charge the Company for any losses it incurs in the event that customers may be unable to fulfill their contractual commitments and margin requirements are not sufficient to fully cover losses. The Company has the right to pursue collection or performance from the counterparts who do not perform under their contractual obligations. For the period ended December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any customers.

# **9. Subsequent Events**

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of these financial statements. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that no events have occurred that impact or require disclosure in these financial statements.

These financial statements and supplemental schedules are deemed confidential pursuant to subparagraph (e)(3) of Rule 17a-5 of the Securities Exchange Commission.
