The Managing Member of

BTIG, LLC

San Francisco, California

# Opinion on Financial Statement

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of BTIG, LLC (the "Broker-Dealer") as of December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Broker-Dealer at December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

# Basis for Opinion

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Broker-Dealer's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Broker-Dealer's 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. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, 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 statement. 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 statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Broker-Dealer's auditor since 2013.

BTIG, LLC
Notes to Statement of Financial Condition
As of December 31, 2022

# 1. Nature of Business

BTIG, LLC (the "Company") is owned by Condor Trading, LP (the "Parent") and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. The Company received approval to operate and conduct business as a broker-dealer in December 2002, is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is also registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") and the National Futures Association ("NFA"). The Company is engaged in brokerage activities acting primarily as an agent for institutional customers in the purchase and sale of domestic and foreign equity securities, American Depositary Receipts ("ADR's"), Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETF's"), listed options, as a principal for transactions in fixed income securities as well as on a name give-up basis for futures and foreign exchange transactions. The Company also offers customers access to a full range of strategic financial advisory, capital market, prime brokerage, and investment banking related services. All institutional customer equity, options and fixed income businesses are cleared through clearing brokers, on a fully disclosed basis and accordingly, the Company does not carry securities accounts for these customers or perform custodial functions relating to their securities.

# 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation - The financial statements are expressed in United States dollars and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

Use of Estimates - The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material.

Variable Interest Entity (VIE) - The Company's equity method investments are considered VIEs. A VIE is an entity that lacks one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. A company has a controlling financial interest in a VIE when the company has a variable interest or interests that provide it with (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company invests in partnerships where the Company or its affiliates act as the general partner or investment manager. The Company determined that it has a variable interest in Firebrand River Capital Fund I, L.P. and Firebrand River Capital Fund II, L.P. both entities that meet the definition of a VIE. However, the Company is not the primary beneficiary because although the Company has the obligation to absorb significant losses of the entities or the right to receive significant benefits from the entities, it does not have the power to direct the activities of the entities.

For equity investments where the Company does not control the investee, and where it is not the primary beneficiary of a VIE, but can exert significant influence over the financial and operating policies of the investee, the Company follows the equity method of accounting. The Company's equity method investees that are investment companies record their underlying investments at fair value. The Company's equity method investments are recorded at historical cost and adjustments are

- 6 -

made to the value based on the Company's proportionate share of the investee's underlying net income or loss and any dividends paid. Such adjustments to the value of equity method investments are presented in Equity in net earnings of other investments - equity method on the Statement of Operations.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents** - The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

**Cash Segregated under Federal or Other Regulations** - At December 31, 2022, the Company had maintained a cash balance of $16,188,302 in a reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of customers under Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

**Securities Owned and Securities Sold not yet Purchased** - Securities owned, and securities sold not yet purchased are recorded on a trade-date basis and are carried at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains and losses have been reflected in Brokerage Revenue, net.

**Receivables From and Deposits with Clearing Brokers** - Securities transactions are executed through clearing brokers on a fully-disclosed basis. Amounts receivable from the clearing brokers relate to such transactions.

**Fair Value of Financial Instruments** - Securities owned, and securities sold not yet purchased, are recorded at fair value. The Company's other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, receivable from and payable to clearing brokers and certain other assets, are recorded at their cost or contract amount, which is considered by management to approximate their fair value as they are short-term in nature and are subject to frequent re-pricing.

**Accounting Standard Issued, Not Yet Adopted** - In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-03, Fair Value Measurements of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (the "Update"), to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring the fair value of the equity security in accordance with ASC 820. The Update also introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 820. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its financial statements.

**Income Taxes** - As a limited liability company that is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes, the Company is not directly liable for income taxes.

### 3. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Authoritative literature also 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. Observable inputs are based on market pricing data obtained from sources independent of the Company. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is generally used to measure fair value whenever available. Unobservable inputs reflect management's judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Where inputs used to measure fair value of an asset or liability are from different levels of the hierarchy, the asset or liability is categorized

- 7 -

based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entity. Assessing the significance of an input requires judgment. The fair value hierarchy includes three levels based on the objectivity of the inputs as follows:

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access. Investments in this category included active exchange-traded money market funds, listed equities, and listed options. Valuation adjustments and block 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 inputs other than quoted prices or included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Valuation Techniques - The Company values investments in securities owned and securities sold not yet purchased that are freely tradable and are listed on a national securities exchange or reported on the NASDAQ national market at their last sales price as of the last business day of the year.

For investment securities categorized as Level 2, the Company uses prices obtained from independent third-party pricing services to measure fair value. Prices received from the pricing services are validated using various methods including comparison to prices received from additional pricing services, comparison to available quoted market prices and review of other relevant market data including implied yields of major categories of securities. In general, these quoted prices are derived from active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company does not adjust the prices received from third-party pricing services unless such prices are inconsistent with the definition of fair value and result in a material difference in the recorded amounts. At December 31, 2022, the Company did not adjust prices received from the pricing services.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value - The Company's assets and liabilities recorded at fair value include securities owned and securities sold not yet purchased. These assets and liabilities are categorized as Level 1 and Level 2 based upon the fair value hierarchy. There were no securities classified as Level 3 at December 31, 2022.

- 8 -

The following table as of December 31, 2022, summarizes the valuation of the Company's investments by the fair value hierarchy levels:

|  | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Assets - Securities owned |  |  |  |  |
| Equity Securities | $40,742,695 | $36,744,070 | $3,998,625 | $ - |
| Preferred Equity Securities | 11,880,258 | 11,880,258 | - | - |
| Equity Options | 231,735 | 231,735 | - | - |
| Corporate Debt Securities | 5,173,263 | 5,173,263 | - | - |
| Total assets | $58,027,951 | $54,029,326 | $3,998,625 | $ - |
| Liabilities - Securities sold not yet purchased |  |  |  |  |
| Equity Securities | $14,663,596 | $14,663,596 | $ - | $ - |
| Equity Options | 5,750 | 5,750 | - | - |
| Corporate Debt Securities | 326,835 | 326,835 | - | - |
| Total liabilities | $14,996,181 | $14,996,181 | $ - | $ - |

### 4. Net Capital Requirements

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 (the "Rule") and CFTC Regulation 1.17. The Company has elected to use the alternative method to compute net capital as permitted by the Rule. Under the alternate method, the Rule requires net capital to be not less than the greater of the minimum net capital requirement or two percent of aggregate debit items computed in accordance with the formula for reserve requirements pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-3. The Rule also requires the Company to notify and sometimes obtain approval from the SEC and FINRA for significant withdrawals of capital or loans to affiliates. At December 31, 2022, the Company's minimum net capital requirement was $250,000. At December 31, 2022, the Company's net capital was $147,363,835 which was $147,113,835 in excess of its minimum requirement.

### 5. Receivables From Clearing Brokers

Receivables from the clearing brokers, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Pershing LLC, ABN Amro Clearing Chicago LLC, and Mirae Asset Securities (USA), Inc. ("Clearing Brokers"), are pursuant to clearance agreements in effect. At December 31, 2022, the Company's total receivables from four Clearing Brokers were approximately $74,670,674 of which approximately $4,500,000 is maintained as clearing deposits at these Clearing Brokers. The Company's total receivables also included a deposit of $1,000,000 maintained at an executing broker at December 31, 2022.

### 6. Receivables From Other Broker-Dealers, Net

Receivables from other broker-dealers are stated net of allowance for credit losses of $14,240 at December 31, 2022. Receivables from other broker-dealers consist primarily of commissions owed to the Company from agency option trading, agency futures trading transactions and agency transactions related to foreign currencies done on behalf of the Company's customers.

### 7. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

The Company's allowance for credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost reflects management's estimate of credit losses over the remaining expected life of such assets. These

- 9 -

expected credit losses are measured based on historical experience, duration outstanding, credit quality of the counterparty, current conditions and forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, and changes to expected credit losses during the period are recognized in earnings.

### 8. Financial Instruments Subject to Off-Balance Sheet Risk, Credit Risk, or Market Risk

Pursuant to clearance agreements, the Company introduces its security transactions to Clearing Brokers on a fully disclosed basis. The customers' money balances and long and short security positions are carried on the books of the Clearing Brokers. In accordance with the clearance agreements, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Clearing Brokers for losses, if any, which the Clearing Brokers may sustain from carrying security positions or conducting securities transactions introduced by the Company.

In the normal course of its business, the Company's customer activities involve the execution, settlement, and financing of various securities transactions. These activities may expose the Company to off-balance sheet risk in the event the customer or other broker is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations and the Company must purchase or sell the financial instrument underlying the contract at a loss.

In addition to the Clearing Brokers, the Company is exposed to credit risk from other brokers, dealers, and financial institutions with which it transacts business, if such counterparties do not fulfill their obligations.

The Company's trading activities include providing brokerage services to customers. To facilitate these customer transactions, the Company purchases proprietary security positions ("long positions") in equity and fixed income securities. The Company also enters into transactions to sell securities not yet purchased ("short positions"), which are recorded as liabilities on the Statement of Financial Condition. The Company is exposed to market risk on these long positions and short positions as a result of decreases in market value of long positions and increases in market value of short positions. Short positions create a liability to purchase the security in the market at prevailing prices. Such transactions result in off-balance sheet market risk as the Company's ultimate obligation to satisfy the sale of securities sold not yet purchased may exceed the amount recorded in the Statement of Financial Condition. The associated interest rate risk of these securities is not deemed material to the Company.

### 9. Concentration of Credit Risk

Most of the Company's cash and cash equivalents are held at a single financial institution in both money market and non-interest-bearing accounts. These balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company also maintains balances with its Clearing Brokers as disclosed in Note 5. The Company's management does not believe the credit risk associated with its cash and cash equivalents and receivables from Clearing Brokers is significant due to the financial stability of such financial institutions.

- 10 -

## 10. Related-Party Transactions

The Company has a revolving line of credit with the Parent which allows the Parent to borrow from the Company. In accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, no borrowing can occur that would cause the Company to be in violation of its minimum net capital requirement. The Parent pays the Company interest based on the London Interbank Offered Rate. The average interest rate used to calculate interest in 2022 was 3.19%. As of December 31, 2022, $8,996,342 was outstanding under the line of credit and is included in receivable from parent, affiliates, and employees. From time to time, the Company also purchases fixed assets or pays operating expenses on behalf of the Parent. At December 31, 2022, receivable from parent, affiliates and employees is approximately $36,578,230. Pursuant to the Expense-Sharing Agreement between Condor Trading, LP and BTIG LLC (the "Agreement") dated April 16, 2008 and as amended on January 1, 2018, the Company is charged for the use of furniture, equipment, and leasehold improvements owned by the Parent. Amounts that are due to the Parent related to the Services Agreement are settled by offsetting such amounts in the Company's intercompany account with the Parent, which are included in receivable from parent, affiliates, and employees in the Statement of Financial Condition.

The Parent is a member of Firebrand River Capital GP LLC and Firebrand River Capital LLC, the general partner and investment manager respectively of Firebrand River Capital Fund II, L.P. and Firebrand River Capital Fund I, L.P.. As of December 31, 2022, the Company made a $2,750,000 equity investment in Firebrand River Capital Fund II, L.P. and a $699,999 equity investment in Firebrand River Capital Fund I, L.P. The Company received a distribution from Firebrand River Capital Fund I, L.P. in the amount of $450,773.

From time to time, the Company makes loans to key employees. Total employee loans outstanding as of December 31, 2022, is approximately $503,516.

### 13. Leases

The Company recognizes operating leases that are longer than one year on the balance sheet as a right of use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability. The ROU asset and lease liability is initially measured using the present value of the lease payments.

The Company has lease agreements for office spaces under non-cancellable operating lease agreements in various locations. The Company elects to not separate lease components and non-lease components. The weighted average lease term of the aggregate leases is approximately 12 years and weighted average discount rate used to calculate the present value of lease payments was 5.0% at December 31, 2022. The last of these leases expire in June 2035. It was determined that these operating leases include fixed rental payments.

Maturities of operating lease liabilities for the five years after December 31, 2022, and thereafter, are as follows:

Years Ending December 31

| 2023 | $8,234,659 |
| --- | --- |
