Item 15. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Partners of The Lion Fund II, L.P.
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Lion Fund II, L.P. (a Delaware Limited Partnership) (the “Fund”), which comprise the statements of assets and liabilities, including the condensed schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Fund as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Fund and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
1
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
•Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
•Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
•Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
•Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
•Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Fund’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

THE LION FUND II, L.P.
(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023, 2022 AND 2021
1.ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Lion Fund II, L.P. (the “Fund”) is an investment fund organized as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Fund is managed by Biglari Capital Corp. (the “General Partner”). The Fund commenced operations in July 2013 with the objective of achieving above-average, long-term growth of capital.
Basis of Accounting — The accompanying financial statements of the Fund have been presented on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company and therefore complies with accounting and reporting guidance presented in Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
Investments in Securities — Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Gains or losses from sales of investments are computed on the specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
Exchange-listed securities are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded.
Income Taxes — In accordance with federal income tax regulations, no income taxes are levied on a partnership, but rather on the individual partners. Consequently, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
There were neither liabilities nor deferred tax assets relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the tax returns. The Fund has reviewed open tax years and has concluded that there is no significant tax liability resulting from uncertain tax provisions. 2022, 2021 and 2020 remain open for both federal and state jurisdictions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Any highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition are considered cash equivalents. The cash and cash equivalent balances as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 represent cash held by the custodians of the Fund’s investments.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
8
Allocation of Net Increase (Decrease) from Operations — The Fund’s income and losses, including unrealized gains or losses and realized gains or losses from the sale of investments, are allocated to the partners in proportion to their respective capital accounts as of the end of each month.
Due to Broker — Due to broker represents margin debt balances. The balance was $184,733,519 and $167,647,866 on December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our interest rate was 6.2% on December 31, 2023.
2.CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Fund does not clear its own securities transactions. It has established accounts with financial institutions for this purpose. This can, and often does, result in concentration of credit risk with one or more of these firms. Such risk, however, is mitigated by the obligation of U.S. financial institutions to comply with rules and regulations governing broker/dealers and futures commission merchants. These rules and regulations generally require maintenance of net capital, as defined, and segregation of customers’ funds and securities from holdings of the firm.
3.RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The General Partner is entitled to receive a performance reallocation of 25% of the increase in net assets annually. This reallocation is subject to a 6% performance hurdle rate that the Fund’s performance must exceed in order for the General Partner to be entitled to such reallocation. Additionally, this reallocation is subject to a high-water mark provision. The General Partner did not earn a performance reallocation during 2023, 2022 or 2021.
Sardar Biglari is the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and sole owner of the General Partner. Mr. Biglari is also the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Biglari Holdings Inc. (“Biglari Holdings”). Biglari Holdings is a limited partner in the Fund and is subject to a performance reallocation.
The General Partner of the Fund also serves as the General Partner of The Lion Fund, L.P. The Lion Fund, L.P. is a limited partner in the Fund and is not subject to a performance reallocation.
During 2022, the Fund distributed 83,465 shares of Biglari Holdings Class A common stock and 890,272 shares of Biglari Holdings Class B common stock to The Lion Fund, L.P. During 2021, the Fund purchased 6,758 shares of Biglari Holdings Class A common stock and 73,912 shares of Biglari Holdings Class B common stock.
4.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Exchange-listed securities are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded.
Level 1 securities in accordance with the GAAP established fair value hierarchy are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, total securities were $372,564,039 and $330,759,640, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, derivative balances were liabilities of $26,187. There were no derivative balances as of December 31, 2022. The securities and derivatives are classified as Level 1 inputs within the GAAP established hierarchy.
