# REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Member
of BluePath Capital LLC:

# **Opinion on the Financial Statement**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of BluePath Capital LLC (a Delaware limited liability company) 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 BluePath Capital LLC as of December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

# **Basis for Opinion**

The financial statement is the responsibility of BluePath Capital LLC’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on BluePath Capital LLC’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 BluePath Capital LLC 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 BluePath Capital LLC’s auditor since 2021.

# BluePath Capital LLC

## Notes to Statement of Financial Condition

### 1. Organization and Business

BluePath Capital LLC, (the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BluePath Finance Inc., is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company is a broker-dealer and as such is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

The Company’s operations consist of private placement of securities.

### 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

#### Basis of Presentation

This financial statement was prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

#### Cash and cash equivalents

All cash deposits are held by one financial institution and therefore are subject to the credit risk at that financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe there to be any significant credit risk with respect to these deposits.

#### Income Taxes

The Company is a single member limited liability company and is treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax reporting purposes. The Internal Revenue Code provides that any income or loss is passed through to the ultimate beneficial individual members for federal, state and certain local income taxes. Accordingly, the Company does not record a provision for federal or state income taxes.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to report information regarding its exposure to various tax positions taken by the Company. The Company has determined whether any tax positions have met the recognition threshold and has measured the Company’s exposure to those tax positions. Management believes that the Company has adequately addressed all relevant tax positions and that there are no unrecorded tax liabilities. Federal and state tax authorities generally have the right to examine and audit the previous three years of tax returns filed. Any interest or penalties assessed to the Company are recorded in operating expenses. No interest or penalties from federal or state tax authorities were recorded in the accompanying financial statements. At December 31, 2022, management has determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition. This determination will always be subject to ongoing reevaluation as facts and circumstances may require.

## Notes to Statement of Financial Condition

### 3. Transactions with Related Parties

The Company has entered into an Expense Sharing Agreement (“ESA”) with BluePath Finance Inc. (the “Parent”) whereby the Parent is to provide office and administrative services, payroll and professional services. Shared costs are allocated based on the ESA between the two companies. The Company will not reimburse the Parent for any of the costs the Parent has attributed to and paid on behalf of the Company. The ESA has a term of one year and is automatically renewed annually, unless terminated or modified by written notice.

The terms of these arrangements may not be the same as those that would otherwise exist or result from agreements and transactions among unrelated parties.

### 4. Regulatory Requirements

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2021, the Company had net capital of approximately $80,000 which exceeded the required net capital by approximately $75,000.

The Company does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3, and relies on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to referring securities transactions to other broker-dealers. The Company does not handle cash or securities on behalf of customers.

### 5. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date this financial statement was issued. No events were noted which would require adjustments or disclosure in the footnotes to the financial statement.
