# Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholder and Board of Directors of Prometheum EMBER ATS, Inc.

## Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Prometheum EMBER ATS, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, 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, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, 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.

## Supplementary Information

The accompanying supplementary schedules titled Schedule I-Computation of Net Capital Pursuant to Rule 15c3-1 and Schedule II-Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirement and Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements for Brokers and Dealers Pursuant to Rule 15c3-3 (collectively, the supplementary information), has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Company's financial statements. 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. § 240.17a5. In our opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2022.

# PROMETHEUM EMBER ATS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

# NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Prometheum Ember ATS, Inc. ("PEATS" or the "Company") is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"). PEATS was formed as a New York State Corporation on February 27, 2018. PEATS was admitted as a member of FINRA on July 16, 2021. PEATS only activity from inception to admittance by FINRA was to prepare for FINRA membership and develop its business strategy.

PEATS business activity will consist of retailing equity and corporate debt securities. PEATS, having received SEC approval, will act as an alternative trading system, and to retail digital asset securities.

The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Prometheum, Inc. ("Parent").

# NOTE 2 - UNCERTAINTY AND LIQUIDITY

The Company has incurred significant losses since inception. However, the Company has begun to onboard customers and will begin trading operations in 2023. The Parent has the ability and the intent to fund the Company's losses now and into the future until such time that the Company becomes profitable.

# NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

# Basis of Presentation

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

# Use of Estimates

The Company prepares its financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on certain assumptions which it believes are reasonable in the circumstances and does not believe that any change in those assumptions would have a significant effect on financial position or results of operations. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

# Income Taxes

The Company is included in the consolidated Federal, New York State and New York City tax returns with its Parent. The Company has a loss carryforward of approximately $1,730,000. At an estimated Federal, New York State, and New York City effective tax rate of 33%, there is a carryforward benefit of approximately $571,000. The Company has reserved 100% against this benefit, as it is uncertain as to when or if it will be realized.

The Company recognizes and measures it unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under that guidance the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. At December 31, 2022, management has determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition.

# PROMETHEUM EMBER ATS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company has defined cash equivalents as highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2022 the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains all its cash with one financial institution, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. This account is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company subject to certain limitations. The Company has not experienced any loss in this account and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

NOTE 4 - EXPENSE SHARING AGREEMENT

The Company operates pursuant to an expense sharing agreement ("ESA") entered into with the Parent. Pursuant to that agreement, certain expenses paid by the Parent, which benefit the Company, are charged to the Company, and reflected in the accounts of the Company. Expenditures by the Parent which are recorded in the accounts of PEATS pursuant to the ESA are settled by a simultaneous non-cash capital contribution by the Parent.

Recognition of expenses under this agreement were started in the month of July, 2021, as membership by the Company in FINRA started in that month. Prior to that date, any such expenses were immaterial, and are not recorded in the accounts of the Company.

Amounts recorded in the accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 under the ESA amounted to $371,950. This amount was settled with a simultaneous non-cash capital contribution.

NOTE 5 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS AND EXEMPTION FROM SEC RULE 15c3-3

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. This rule requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1 (8 to 1 in the first year) and that equity capital may not be withdrawn if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. At December 31, 2022, the Company's net capital was $289,155, which was $39,155 in excess of its minimum requirement of $250,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was 0.11 to 1.

The regulatory net capital as of December 31, 2022 is less than 120% of the Company's minimum net capital requirement of $300,000. Accordingly, on January 10, 2023, the Company informed FINRA by filing a SEC Rule 17a-11(c)(3) early warning notification. Prior to informing FINRA additional capital was contributed to the Company to correct the issue. Management has implemented additional procedures to perform a net capital computation on a weekly basis.

The Company has no possession or control obligations under 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3(b) or reserve deposit obligations under 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3(e), as it places reliance on footnote 74 of the SEC release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5, as its business is limited to:

- retailing corporate equity securities over the counter,
- selling corporate debt securities, and
- acting as an alternative trading system, operating in accordance with the SEC no action letter issued September 25, 2020, "ATS Role in the Settlement of Digital Asset Security Trades".

# NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As discussed in Note 4, the Company has an ESA with the Parent. In addition, the Company leases office space from an entity associated with members of the Parent's Board of Directors and a minority stockholder (Note 7).

# NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company leases office space, pursuant to a short term lease, for $7,000 per month from a related party (Note 6). Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 amounted to $84,000. The Company has classified this lease as an operating lease.

# Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholder and Board of Directors of Prometheum EMBER ATS, Inc.

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which (1) Prometheum EMBER ATS, Inc. (the Company) stated that the Company does not claim exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3 and (2) Prometheum EMBER ATS, Inc. stated that the Company is filing its Exemption Report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to engaging solely in activities permitted for capital acquisition brokers (CAB) as defined in FINRA's CAB rules and approved for membership in FINRA as a CAB, and Prometheum EMBER ATS, Inc. (i) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, (other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company; (ii) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (iii) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the year ended December 31, 2022 without exception. Prometheum EMBER ATS, Inc.'s management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

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 provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

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