## Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of UOB Global Equity Sales LLC (a limited liability company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related statements of operations, changes in member's equity, and cash flows for the years 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 UOB Global Equity Sales LLC as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

# UOB GLOBAL EQUITY SALES LLC
(A Limited Liability Company)

# NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

# 1. ORGANIZATION

UOB Global Equity Sales LLC (the "Company") was established as a limited liability company ("LLC") in the state of New York on November 22, 2002. The Company commenced operations in September 2003, when the Company became a broker-dealer in securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and a registered member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of UOB Global Capital LLC (the "Parent").

The Company's activities have been limited to acting as a placement agent for alternative investments, including, but not limited to, hedge funds, private equity funds, etc. The Company does not carry security accounts for customers or perform custodial functions relating to customer securities. The Company's principal business office is located in New York City.

Since the Company is an LLC, the member is not liable for the debts, obligations or liabilities of the Company, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, unless the member has signed a specific guarantee.

# 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

# Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Income is recognized as earned and expenses are recognized as incurred.

# Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

# Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09,

# NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

# 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

# Revenue Recognition (cont'd)

Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all related amendments. The revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

The Company recognizes revenue once there is evidence of an arrangement, performance obligation is identified, the fee revenue is determined and the performance obligation has been satisfied at a point in time. The Company enters into fee referral agreements with asset/investment management companies ("Investment Advisors"), whereby the Company earns a referral and/or incentive fee for its role in referring investors to the Investment Advisors. Fees are paid on a quarterly and/or annual basis and are determined by the amount of the investment multiplied by the agreed-upon fee-sharing percentage.

# Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The determination of the amount of uncollectible accounts is based on the amount of credit extended, estimated creditworthiness of the counterparty assumed by

management, and the length of time a receivable has been outstanding. Other factors are considered by management on a case-by-case basis.

Based on management's assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has made reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. For financial assets measured at amortized cost (e.g., cash and cash equivalents and receivables from customers), the Company has concluded that there are de minimus expected credit losses based on the nature and contractual life or expected life of the financial assets and immaterial historic and expected losses based on the nature and contractual life or expected life of the financial assets. No allowance for credit losses was recorded as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

# Income Taxes

As a single-member LLC, the Company is considered a disregarded entity for Federal, New York State and New York City income tax purposes. No provision for the New York City Unincorporated Business Tax has been made for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes. Under that guidance, management assesses the likelihood that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period, including the technical merits of those positions. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available or when an event occurs that requires a change.

The Company is subject to examinations by taxing authorities.

# Subsequent Events

In accordance with FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through February 24, 2023, the date on which these financial statements were issued. There were no material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

# 3. MANAGEMENT AND INCENTIVE FEES

Management and incentive fees are calculated by the Investment Advisors according to the advisory agreement they have with each investor. Management fees are calculated based upon an agreed-upon rate and the contributed assets or the value of the assets under management. Incentive fees are calculated at an agreed-upon rate and are dependent on the performance of the investment under management. The Company receives a portion of the management and/or incentive fees for its activities as a placement agent according to its agreement(s) with the Investment Advisors. Generally, such fees are earned and collected quarterly in arrears.

# 4. RELATED PARTIES

Pursuant to a cost-sharing agreement (the "Agreement") between the Parent and the Company, the Parent acts as the common paymaster for certain compensation and overhead costs incurred on behalf of the Company. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, the Parent acts as the common paymaster for certain non-compensation related expenses incurred by itself and the Company. Included in the aforementioned costs are amounts paid by the Company and the Parent for direct costs as well as costs that are subject to an allocation (the "Allocated Costs") between the Company and the Parent. Allocated Costs generally consist of salaries and related benefits paid for shared personnel, as well as other overhead costs. The Agreement provides that allocations of shared employee compensation costs between the Company and the Parent are based on the estimated amount of time spent by employees on behalf of the Company and the Parent.

In addition, the Agreement provides that the allocation of other overhead costs is based primarily on the estimated usage of such services by the Company and the Parent. Total Allocated Costs charged to the Company by the Parent are included in the accompanying statements of operations and amounted to $143,814 for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The amount due to the Parent is $14,484 as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

# 5. NET CAPITAL AND RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule ("SEC Rule 15c3-1"), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, not exceed 15 to 1. Net capital and aggregate indebtedness change from day to day. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company's regulatory net capital was $141,321 and $149,615, respectively, which exceeded the Company's minimum net capital requirement of $5,000 for both years. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, aggregate indebtedness was $36,384 and $35,644, respectively. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.258 to 1 and 0.238 to 1, respectively.

# 6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company places its cash, which may at times be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits, with high credit quality financial institutions and attempts to limit the amount of credit exposure with any one institution. Accounts receivable are from Investment Advisors for which the Company reviews their backgrounds and credit history before entering into agreements. Allowances for possible losses are based on factors surrounding the credit risk of the Investment Advisor, historical trends and other information. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, two customers accounted for 95.73% and 95.47% of the Company's accounts receivable and revenue, respectively. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 70.95% and 82.79% of the Company's accounts receivable and revenue, respectively. The Company's accounts receivable represent amounts due from the customers.

# REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Member
UOB Global Equity Sales LLC

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which (1) UOB Global Equity Sales LLC identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which UOB Global Equity Sales LLC claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3: (k(2)(i)) (the "exemption provisions") and (2) UOB Global Equity Sales LLC stated that UOB Global Equity Sales LLC met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

UOB Global Equity Sales LLC is also filing this Exemption Report because UOB Global Equity Sales LLC's other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 are limited to acting as a placement agent for alternative investments. In addition, UOB Global Equity Sales LLC did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers; did not carry accounts of or for customers; and did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

UOB Global Equity Sales LLC'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 UOB Global Equity Sales LLC'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)(i)) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and UOB Global Equity Sales LLC's other business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5, and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions.
