YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022**

# ***NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES***

# **Organization and Business**

Sprott Global Resource Investments, Ltd. (the 'Partnership') is a California limited partnership which was organized on September 24, 1993. The Partnership is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ('FINRA'). The general partner of the Partnership is SGRIL Holdings, Inc. ('SGRIL Holdings'). The Partnership generates the majority of its business from the United States and substantially all of the Partnership's assets are located in the United States.

The Partnership, under Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(ii), is exempt from the customer protection - reserve and possession or control requirements of Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC. The Partnership does not carry or clear customer accounts. Accordingly, all customer transactions are executed and cleared on behalf of the Partnership by its clearing broker, RBC Capital Markets, LLC ('RBC CM' or 'clearing broker') on a fully disclosed basis. As at December 31, 2022, the clearing broker also acts as its custodian for the Partnership's proprietary investments. RBC CM is registered with the SEC and is a member of FINRA; as a result, it is required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital at all times. The Partnership's agreement with its clearing broker provides that as clearing broker, that firm will make and keep such records of the transactions effected and cleared in the customer accounts as are customarily made and kept by a clearing broker pursuant to the requirements of Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 'Act'). It also performs all services customarily incident thereon, including the preparation and distribution of customer's confirmations and statements and maintenance margin requirements under the Act and the rules of the Self-Regulatory Organizations of which the Partnership is a member.

The Partnership and other affiliated entities are under common ownership and management control of Sprott Inc. ('SII'). The existence of this control could result in the Partnership's operating results or financial position being significantly different from those that would have been obtained if the Partnership were autonomous.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The significant accounting policies are outlined below.

# **Securities Valuation and Revenue Recognition**

The Partnership records revenue from traditional commission-based brokerage services provided to its clients on a trade-date basis and includes commissions revenue.

Corporate finance advisory revenue is recorded when the underlying transaction is substantially completed under the terms of the engagement and is included in commissions revenue. A portion of this revenue may be received in the form of derivative instruments, such as warrants, whereby management may determine to hold for an extended period of time should future appreciation be probable. Derivative instruments are reported in securities owned on the statement of financial condition.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022**

# ***NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES***  
*(continued)*

# **Securities Valuation and Revenue Recognition** *(continued)*

The Partnership records its securities owned on a trade-date basis. Realized and unrealized changes in fair value are recorded as Investment and trading in the statement of income in the year the changes occur.

Expenses related to commissions revenue and investment and trading costs are recorded on a trade-date basis.

The Partnership values its securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 820 - Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). Under ASC 820, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, the Partnership uses various valuation approaches. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Partnership. Unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s assumption about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

- Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Partnership has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and blockage discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

- Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

- Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and rely on management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Partnership’s own data.

# ***NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES***  
*(continued)*

# **Securities Valuation and Revenue Recognition** *(continued)*

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Partnership in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Partnership's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Partnership uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

The Partnership values investments in securities that are freely tradable and are listed on a national securities exchange or reported on the NASDAQ national market at the bid price on the last business day of the year.

Over-the-counter ('OTC') contracts have market prices that can be observed in the marketplace. The Partnership's policy for securities traded in the OTC markets and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at their last reported market price. These securities are included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy for actively traded markets and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy for markets that are not actively traded.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022**

# ***NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES***  
*(continued)*

# **Securities Valuation and Revenue Recognition** *(continued)*

Restricted securities of publicly traded companies are valued at the fair value of the public company's publicly traded securities less a discount. The Partnership discounts the unrestricted fair values based upon various factors such as the length of the restriction period. These securities are included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Partnership's investments may include investments in private companies which can consist of direct private equity investments. The transaction price, excluding transaction costs, is typically the Partnership's best estimate of fair value at inception. When evidence supports a change to the carrying value from the transaction price, adjustments are made to reflect expected exit values. Ongoing reviews by the Partnership's management are based on an assessment of each underlying investment, incorporating valuations that consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, comparable transactions and the overall stability of the principal market where the security would trade if the security were public. These non-public securities are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Transfers between the fair value hierarchy levels are determined using the fair value on the actual date of circumstance that caused the transfer.

# **Foreign Currency**

Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Foreign currency translation adjustments arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in exchange rates. This amount is reported as interest and other income in the statement of income.

# **Furniture, Equipment and Leasehold Improvements**

Furniture and equipment are depreciated on a declining balance basis over the expected useful life which ranges from 1 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the lease term.

# **Profit and Loss Allocations**

Profits and losses from operations are allocated to partners based on the Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated September 27, 1993. The Agreement of Limited Partnership generally provides for this allocation to be made based on the respective partners' capital accounts.

# ***NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES***  
*(continued)*

# **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 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

# **Cash Equivalents**

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Partnership has defined cash equivalents as highly liquid investments, with original maturities of less than three months that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business.

# **Stock-based Compensation**

On June 2, 2011, the Partnership adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”) for its US employees. The Partnership may allocate common shares of its ultimate shareholder, SII, to employees as either (i) restricted stock, (ii) unrestricted stock or (iii) restricted stock units (“RSUs”), the resulting common shares of which will be issued from the treasury of SII.

The Partnership uses the fair value method to account for equity settled share-based payments with employees. Compensation expense is determined using the closing price of SII stock on the day the RSU is granted and is recognized over the vesting period with a corresponding increase to partners’ capital. RSUs vest in installments which require a graded vesting methodology to account for these share-based awards. On the conversion of the RSUs to common stock, SII issues the capital stock on behalf of the partnership.

# **Income Taxes**

The financial statements do not include a provision for United States federal, state or local income taxes because the Partnership is not a taxable entity and its partners are taxed on their respective share of partnership earnings.

# **Leases**

The Partnership records its operating lease in accordance with Topic 842, Leases, and recognizes a right of use lease asset and lease liability in the statement of financial condition. Subsequent amortization of the right-of-use asset and accretion of the lease liability for an operating lease is recognized as a single lease cost, on a straight-line basis, over the lease term. Right-of-use assets are assessed for impairment in accordance with long-lived asset impairment policy. The Partnership used the practical expedient when applying ASC 842 for short-term leases under 12 months and low-value assets such as IT equipment, with lease payments being expensed as they are incurred.

# **New accounting standards**

The Partnership monitors new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations, which are relevant to the partnership. The Partnership did not adopt any new accounting standards for the year ended December 31, 2022.

# **NOTE 2 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

Pursuant to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Partnership is required to maintain a minimum net capital, as defined under such provisions. At December 31, 2022, the Partnership had net capital and net capital requirements of $3,081,212 and $250,000, respectively. The Partnership's net capital ratio (aggregate indebtedness to net capital) was 0.23 to 1. According to Rule 15c3-1, the Partnership's net capital ratio shall not exceed 15 to 1.

# **NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

The Partnership's assets recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820. See Note 1 for a discussion of the Partnership's policies.

The following table presents information about the Partnership's assets measured at fair value and its categorization in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2022:

|  | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Balance as of December 31, 2022 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Assets: |  |  |  |  |
| Public equities | $16,067 | - | - | 16,067 |
| Common share purchase warrants | - | - | 14,897 | 14,897 |
| Securities owned, at fair value | $16,067 | $ - | $14,897 | $30,964 |

During the year ended December 31, 2022, $Nil was transferred between Level 2 and Level 1 and $11,614 was transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to the impact on historical volatility of the underlying security on the fair value of warrants.

To assess the valuation of its level 3 securities, the Partnership uses pricing models such as Black-Scholes, and incorporates all available market observable inputs, as well as historical volatility. A 10% change in the significant unobservable input (volatility) would lead to an impact of $2,133 on net income.

# ***NOTE 4 - LEASES***

During the year, the Partnership entered into a short team lease arrangement for its office premise. This short-term lease replaced the existing long-term non-cancellable lease which expired in June 2022. The Partnership's lease expense for operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As the Partnership's office premise long term lease agreement did not provide an implicit rate of return, the Partnership had used its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments.

Lease cost of $361,478 is recognized in the statement of income. As of December 31, 2022, the Partnership had no lease liabilities.

# ***NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS***

The Partnership is affiliated with Resource Capital Investment Corporation ('RCIC') through common ownership. RCIC is the general partner of 8 investment partnerships: Exploration Capital Partners 2000 Limited Partnership, Exploration Capital Partners 2012 Limited Partnership, Exploration Capital Partners 2014 Limited Partnership, Resource Income Partners Limited Partnership, Natural Resource Income Investing Limited Partnership, Sprott Natural Resource Lending Fund 2016 LP, Sprott Rights & PIPES I and Sprott Rights & PIPES VII (collectively 'Exploration'). For the year ended December 31, 2022, RCIC reimbursed the Partnership $275,180 for its portion of selling, general, administration and compensation overhead.

## Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors
Sprott Global Resource Investments, Ltd.:

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Sprott Global Resource Investments, Ltd.'s Exemption Report (the Exemption Report), in which (1) Sprott Global Resource Investments, Ltd. (the Partnership) identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3(k) under which the Partnership claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3(k)(2)(ii) (the exemption provisions); and (2) the Partnership stated that it met the identified exemption provisions throughout the year ended December 31, 2022 without exception. The Partnership'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 Partnership'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 provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Additionally, the SIPC has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for their intended purpose. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose. No other parties have agreed to or acknowledged the appropriateness of these procedures for the intended purpose or any other purpose.

The procedures performed may not address all the items of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. The sufficiency of these procedures for the intended purpose is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in this report and we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the intended purpose or for any other purpose.

The procedures and the associated findings are as follows:

2. Compared the Total Revenue amount reported on the Annual Audited Form X-17A-5 Part III for the year ended December 31, 2022, with the Total Revenue amount reported in Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2022, and noted no difference;

We were not engaged to, and did not, conduct an examination or a review engagement, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on the Partnership's Form SIPC-7 and for its compliance with the applicable instructions on Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

# SIPC-7 Instructions

This form is to be filed by all members of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation whose fiscal years end in 2011 and annually thereafter. The form together with the payment is due no later than 60 days after the end of the fiscal year, or after membership termination. Amounts reported herein must be readily reconcilable with the member's records and the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 17a-5 report filed. Questions pertaining to this form should be directed to SIPC via e-mail at form@sipc.org or by telephoning 202-371-8300.

A. For the purposes of this form, the term "SIPC Net Operating Revenues" shall mean gross revenues from the securities business as defined in or pursuant to the applicable sections of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 ("Act") and Article 6 of SIPC's bylaws (see page 4), less item 2c(9) on page 2.

B. Gross revenues of subsidiaries, except foreign subsidiaries, are required to be included in SIPC Net Operating Revenues on a consolidated basis except for a subsidiary filing separately as explained hereinafter.

If a subsidiary was required to file a Rule 17a-5 annual audited statement of income separately and is also a SIPC member, then such subsidiary must itself file SIPC-7, pay the assessment, and should not be consolidated in your SIPC-7.

SIPC Net Operating Revenues of a predecessor member which are not included in item 2a, were not reported separately and the SIPC assessments were not paid thereon by such predecessor, shall be included in item 2b(1).

C. Your General Assessment should be computed as follows:

(1) Line 2a. For the applicable period enter total revenue based upon amounts reported in your Rule 17a-5 Annual Audited Statement of Income prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to securities brokers and dealers, or if exempted from that rule, use X-17A-5 (FOCUS Report) Line 12, Code 4030.

(2) Adjustments. The purpose of the adjustments on page 2 is to determine SIPC Net Operating Revenues.

(a) Additions. Lines 2b(1) through 2b(7) assure that assessable income and gain items of SIPC Net Operating Revenues are totaled, unreduced by any losses (e.g., if a net loss was incurred for the period from all transactions in trading account securities, that net loss does not reduce other assessable revenues). Thus, line 2b(4) would include all short dividend and interest payments including those incurred in reverse conversion accounts, rebates on stock loan positions and repo interest which have been netted in determining line 2(a).

(b) Deductions. Line 2c(1) through line 2c(9) are either provided for in the statute, as in deduction 2c(1), or are allowed to arrive at an assessment base consisting of net operating revenues from the securities business. For example, line 2c(9) allows for a deduction of either the total of interest and dividend expense (not to exceed interest and dividend income), as reported on FOCUS line 22/PART IIA line 13 (Code 4075), plus line 2b(4) or 40% of interest earned on customers' securities accounts (40% of FOCUS Line 5 Code 3960). Be certain to complete both line (i) and (ii), entering the greater of the two in the far right column. Dividends paid to shareholders are not considered "Expense" and thus are not to be included in the deduction. Likewise, interest and dividends paid to partners pursuant to the partnership agreements would also not be deducted.

If the amount reported on line 2c (8) aggregates to $100,000 or greater, supporting documentation must accompany the form that identifies these deductions. Examples of support information include: contractual agreements, prospectuses, and limited partnership documentation.

(i) Determine your SIPC Net Operating Revenues, item 2d, by adding to item 2a, the total of item 2b, and deducting the total of item 2c.
(ii) Multiply SIPC Net Operating Revenues by the applicable rate. Enter the resulting amount in item 2e and on line 2A of page 1.
(iii) Enter on line 2B the assessment due as reflected on the SIPC-6 previously filed.
(iv) Subtract line 2B and 2C from line 2A and enter the difference on line 2D. This is the balance due for the period.
(v) Enter interest computed on late payment (if applicable) on line 2E.
(vi) Enter the total due on line 2F and the payment of the amount due on line 2G.
(vii) Enter overpayment carried forward (if any) on line 2H.

D. Any SIPC member which is also a bank (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) may exclude from SIPC Net Operating Revenues dividends and interest received on securities in its investment accounts to the extent that it can demonstrate to SIPC's satisfaction that such securities are held, and such dividends and interest are received, solely in connection with its operations as a bank and not in connection with its operations as a broker, dealer or member of a national securities exchange. Any member who excludes from SIPC Net Operating Revenues any dividends or interest pursuant to the preceding sentence shall file with this form a supplementary statement setting forth the amount so excluded and proof of its entitlement to such exclusion.

E. Interest on Assessments. If all or any part of assessment payable under Section 4 of the Act has not been postmarked within 15 days after the due date thereof, the member shall pay, in addition to the amount of the assessment, interest at the rate of 20% per annum on the unpaid portion of the assessment for each day it has been overdue.

F. Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 17a-5(e) (4) requires those who are not exempted from the audit requirement of the rule and whose gross revenues are in excess of $500,000 to file a supplemental independent public accountants report covering this SIPC-7 no later than 60 days after their fiscal year ends.

Mail this completed form to SIPC together with a check for the amount due, made payable to SIPC, using the enclosed return PO BOX envelope, pay via ACH Debit Authorization through SIPC's ACH system at www.sipc.org/for-members/assessments or wire the payment to:

On the wire identify the name of the firm and its SEC Registration 8-# and label it as "for assessment." Please fax a copy of the assessment form to (202)-223-1679 or e-mail a copy to form@sipc.org on the same day as the wire.
