Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of United States Commodity Funds LLC (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes to these financial statements (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, 2019 and 2018, 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 audits. 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 audits 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying statements of financial condition of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with various high credit quality institutions. At times, the Company maintains cash deposits in excess of the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage of $250,000, but the Company does not expect any losses.

Management Fees Receivable – Related Party

Management fees receivable generally consist of one month of management fees which are collected in the month after they are earned. The Company is the General Partner or Sponsor of various Funds for which we earn a management fee.

Management closely monitors receivables and records an allowance for any balances that are determined to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company considered all remaining accounts receivable to be fully collectible.

Investments

Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase based upon management’s intent with respect to such investments. Investments consist of equities, futures, and money market funds. Investments are classified as available-for-sale securities. The Company measures the investments at estimated fair value at period end with any changes in estimated fair value reflected as unrealized gains (losses) in the statement of operations. With respect to Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, we reclassified net after-tax unrealized losses of $212,351 on equity securities as of January 1, 2018 from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. Beginning January 1, 2018 we are including unrealized gains and losses arising from the changes in the fair values of our equity securities as a component of investment gains and losses in the statement of operations.

The Company’s futures investment was liquidated March 2019 and related to its investment in commodity futures contracts entered into with an intermediary bank to offset risk borne by the Company’s affiliate entity, USCF Advisers LLC, which is a subsidiary of the Company’s parent, CNCG, through its investment in the USCF Commodity Strategy Fund, a series within in the USCF Mutual Funds Trust. The USCF Mutual Funds Trust was managed by the Company’s affiliate USCF Advisers LLC. The Company’s futures investment essentially protected against commodity price risk with respect to underlying positions held by the USCF Commodity Strategy Fund. Changes in fair market value were recorded to the Company’s statement of operations. See Note 3, Investments and Fair Value Measurements, for fair value disclosures.

Revenue Recognition – Related Parties

The Company recognizes revenue under the Funds’ respective Limited Partnership Agreements, as amended from time to time (the “Limited Partnership Agreements”) and the Trust Agreements, as amended from time to time (the “Trust Agreement”). These Agreements provide for fees based upon a percentage of the daily average net asset value of the Funds. The Company is responsible for investing the assets of the Funds in accordance with the objectives and policies of the respective Funds. In addition, the Company has arranged for one or more third parties to provide administrative, custody, accounting, transfer agency and other necessary services to the Funds and is contractually obligated to pay for these services. The Funds are contractually obligated to pay the Company a management fee, which is paid monthly, based on the average daily net assets of the Funds.

USO pays a management fee of 0.45% (45 basis points) per annum on its average daily net assets. UNG pays a fee equal to 0.60% (60 basis points) per annum on average daily net assets of $1,000,000,000 or less and 0.50% (50 basis points) of average daily net assets that are greater than $1,000,000,000. USL and UGA each pay a fee of 0.60% (60 basis points) per annum on their average daily net assets. UNL and BNO each pay a fee of 0.75% (75 basis points) per annum on their average daily net assets. USCI pays a fee of 0.80% (80 basis points) per annum on its average daily net assets. CPER pays a fee of 0.65% (65 basis points) per annum on its average daily net assets. USOU and USOD each paid a fee of 0.95% (95 basis points) per annum on their average daily net assets prior to their liquidation on December 18, 2019. UHN, DNO and USAG each paid a fee of .60% (60 basis points), 0.60% (60 basis points), and 0.65% (65 basis points), respectively, per annum on their average daily net assets prior to their liquidation on September 12, 2018. The Company no longer earns management fees from Funds that have been liquidated.

Management fees are recognized in the period earned in accordance with the terms of their respective agreements. The Company has recognized revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 606 (“ASC 606"), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, since its effective date of January 1, 2018. Given the nature of our operations, the Company has not capitalized any costs to obtain or fulfill contracts as of December 31, 2019 or 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition subsequent to the adoption of ASC 606 is the same as the same as the Company’s revenue recognition under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s guidance preceding this standard.

Expense Waivers

The Company has voluntarily agreed to pay certain expenses normally borne by UGA, UNL, BNO and CPER to the extent such expenses exceed 0.15% (15 basis points) of the respective fund’s average daily net assets, on an annualized basis. The Company has no obligation to continue such payments into subsequent periods. Expense waivers payable totaled $288,119 and $388,995 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Fund Start-up Expenses

The Company expenses all startup expenses associated with the registration of each fund and the expense is charged to general and administrative expense. Fund startup expenses include costs relating to the initial registration of shares and include, but are not limited to, legal fees pertaining to the initial registration of shares, SEC and FINRA registration fees, initial fees to be listed on an exchange, and other similar costs.

The Funds pay for all brokerage fees, taxes and other expenses, including registration or other fees paid to the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) formerly the National Association of Securities Dealers, or any other regulatory agency in connection with the offer and sale of subsequent shares after their initial registration and all legal, accounting, printing, and other expenses associated therewith.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s short-term investments are carried at estimated fair value. In determining fair value, the Company follows the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). Under ASC 820, the fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities, without adjustment.

Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in active markets of similar assets or liabilities, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment.

Short-term investments are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded.

Income Taxes

The Company has filed an election with the Internal Revenue Service to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation. The Company now files a federal consolidated income tax return with entities not included on these financials, previously the Company filed its own stand-alone tax returns. In connection with filing a consolidated federal income tax return, the tax benefit of utilizing tax losses generated by the consolidated group is not reflected on USCF’s statements of financial condition. The tax provision is prepared as if the Company filed its own stand-alone tax returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, valuation of net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, if any.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. If necessary, a valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets until it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.

The Company provides for uncertain tax positions using guidance which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of the accounting standard and in subsequent periods. In addition, the accounting standard provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of management fees receivable as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

The Company adopted the new standard on July 1, 2019, the effective date for CNCG, using the modified retrospective method and the transition relief guidance provided by the FASB in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. Consequently, the Company did not update financial information or provide disclosures required under the new standard for dates and periods prior to July 1, 2019. The Company elected the package of practical expedients and did not reassess prior conclusions on whether contracts are or contain a lease, lease classification, and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company adopted the lessee practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes and elected to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the Company recording operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of $591,662 and $628,738 respectively, as of July 1, 2019. The ROU assets were recorded net of $37,076 in deferred rent adjustments that were previously recorded in accrued expenses as deferred rent on the statement of financial condition. The adoption of this standard did not result in any cumulative-effect adjustments to retained earnings.

Refer to Note 5 for additional disclosures over the Company’s leases.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, continued

ASU 2016-01 reclassifies accumulated losses from changes in short-term investment valuations previously recorded in comprehensive income to retained earnings. ASU 2016-01 requires that unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in market values of our investments in equity securities be recorded in the statements of operations rather than in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the balance sheet. Prior to January 1, 2018 investment gains and losses related to equity securities were reflected on the statements of comprehensive income.

A summary of the effects of the initial adoption of ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018, and ASU 2016-02 and ASC 842 on July 1, 2019 are as follows:

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

5.            Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, accrued expenses, and long-term operating lease liabilities in the statements of financial condition. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and are reduced by any lease incentives received. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or not terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise any such options. For its lease, the Company concluded that it is not reasonably certain that any renewal options would be exercised, and, therefore, the amounts are not recognized as part of operating lease right-of-use assets nor operating lease liabilities.

Fixed lease expense payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time. The Company’s operating lease agreement includes variable payments that are passed through by the landlord, such as insurance, taxes, and common area maintenance. Variable payments are deemed immaterial and are expensed as incurred.

The Company has one operating lease which is for it office space in Walnut Creek, California, which expires in December 2023. The Company does not have any finance leases.

Future minimum rental payments required under the operating lease, are as follows:

The remaining lease term was approximately four years as of December 31, 2019 and a discount rate of 6.0% was used to determine the total operating lease liabilities.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising mainly from the ordinary course of its business. In management’s opinion, the legal proceedings are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

6.            Income Taxes

The Company has filed an election with the Internal Revenue Service to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation. The Company files a federal consolidated income tax return with entities not included on these financials. In connection with filing a consolidated federal income tax return, the tax benefit of utilizing tax losses generated by the consolidated group is not reflected on USCF’s statements of financial condition. In connection with filing a consolidated federal income tax return, the Company has recorded federal income tax expense and deferred tax assets at the legal entity level as if it was filing its own stand-alone taxes. The Company presents its tax positions on a net basis on its statements of financial condition. The Company has recorded a net tax receivable of $427,514 and $6,576 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to anticipated net refunds on previously filed tax returns.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

The majority of the deferred tax assets relate to startup costs associated with the organization and registration of the Funds for which the Company is a general partner and having paid such costs.

Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income, if any, the amount and timing of which is uncertain. Based upon available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be fully realizable. Accordingly, the full amount of the valuation allowance has been released during 2018.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company’s tax years 2015 through 2019 will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities for three and four years, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, there were no active taxing authority examinations.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits (“UTBs”) of approximately $15,000 for both years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, when they occur, related to uncertain tax provisions as a component of tax expense. There is no interest or penalties to be recognized for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company does not expect its UTBs to change significantly over the next 12 months.

In connection with filing a consolidated federal income tax return, the tax benefit of utilizing tax losses generated by the consolidated group is not reflected on USCF’s statements of financial condition. The Company’s taxes are computed as if it files on a stand-alone basis (see Note 6).

8.            Subsequent Events
