In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### **Basis for Opinion** These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements 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 statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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 statements. 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 statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. #### **Supplemental Information** The supplementary information contained in the Computation of Net Capital Under SEC Rule 15c3-1, the Computation of Reserve Requirements Under SEC Rule 15c3-3 and Information Relating to the Possession or Control Requirements Under SEC Rule 15c3-3 have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5. In our opinion, the supplementary information contained in the Computation of Net Capital Under SEC Rule 15c3-1, the Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements Under SEC Rule 15c3-3 and Information Relating to the Possession or Control Requirements Under SEC Rule 15c3-3 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. We have served as the Company's auditor since 2017 Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania January 10, 2025 {5}------------------------------------------------ #### **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION** #### **DECEMBER 31, 2024** | ASSETS | | |----------------------------------------|---------------| | Cash | \$

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. General Description of the Company Campbell Financial Services, LLC (the Company), a wholly owned subsidiary of Campbell & Company LP (CCLP), is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company engages in the marketing and selling of products sponsored by Campbell affiliates and the wholesaling of mutual funds. The Company is registered and licensed as a broker-dealer in all U.S. states and territories, with the exception of Guam. > Effective November 7, 2024, as part of the long-planned transition of majority ownership of Campbell & Company, LP (CCLP), majority ownership transitioned to its senior executives and employees. Prior to November 7, 2024, Campbell's founder D. Keith Campbell was the majority owner of Campbell & Company, LP. Campbell senior executives and employees held a minority ownership interest. Nothing has changed in the day-to-day operation of the business. With respect to the transition of majority ownership of CFS's parent, CFS has filed with FINRA a Continuing Membership Application pursuant to FINRA Rule 1017(a). That application is pending. B. Method of Reporting The Company's financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification), is the single source of U.S. GAAP. C. 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 disclosures 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, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. D. Revenue Recognition Under ASC 606 marketing service fees are recognized when earned, based on the terms of the underlying agreement. {10}------------------------------------------------ #### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** #### **FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024** ## Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) ## E. Income Taxes The Company is considered a disregarded entity under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company's taxable income "flows-through" to CCLP and is subject to CCLP's U.S. federal and state taxation status. The preparation and filing of U.S. federal and state tax returns are performed by CCLP under a consolidated tax filing. Accordingly, the Company does not provide for income tax expense or income tax liability on its net income. The Company does not owe any taxes to its affiliates. The Company applies the provisions of Codification Topic 740, *Income Taxes*, which prescribe the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the financial statements. This accounting standard requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likelythan-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions with respect to tax at the Company level not deemed to meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold would be recorded as an expense in the current year. The Company has elected an accounting policy to classify interest and penalties, if any, as interest expense. The Company has concluded that there is no tax expense or interest expense related to uncertainties in income tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2024. The 2021 through 2024 tax years generally remain subject to examination by U.S. federal and most state tax authorities. # Note 2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company has entered into an agreement with CCLP to promote the sales of units of affiliated commodity pools to investors of such commodity pools, and to continuously service such units. As part of this agreement, the Company receives a monthly marketing services fee from CCLP, which represents the entire portion of its revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company earned \$381,000 related to the marketing service fees from CCLP. The Company has entered into a Services and Operations Agreement with CCLP pursuant to which Affiliate Services (as defined in the Services and Operations Agreement), such as management, administration, office space and other services, will be provided by CCLP to the Company and the Company will be charged by CCLP the reasonable value of the services rendered. The allocation for these expenses in 2024 is broken down as follows: office services \$35,708, rent \$13,148, salaries \$239,480, and accounting services \$13,333. Charges for such Affiliate Services are reflected in the applicable expense caption in the Company's statement of operations. The Company is responsible for certain direct expenses such as annual audit, legal and regulatory fees. The marketing service fees received from CCLP and the expenses paid to CCLP related to the Services and Operations Agreement would not necessarily be the same if these arrangements were conducted with an unrelated party. ## Note 3. INDEMNIFICATIONS In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Company's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred. The Company expects the risk of any future obligation under these indemnifications to be remote. {11}------------------------------------------------ #### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** #### **FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024** ## Note 4. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risks related to cash. #### Note 5. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Pursuant to the net capital provisions of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is required to maintain minimum net capital and is required to maintain a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital (both as defined under such provisions), not to exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$159,000, which was \$154,000 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.0868 to 1. ### Note 6. DISTRIBUTIONS . The Company did not pay any distributions to CCLP in 2024. ## Note 7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, which introduces improvements to the information that a public entity discloses about its reportable segments and addresses investor requests for more information about reportable segment expenses. The ASU does not change the current guidance related to the identification of operating segments, the determination of reportable segments, or the aggregation criteria. Rather, the new guidance introduces additional disclosure requirements and expands those requirements to entities with a single reportable segment, not just entities with multiple reportable segments. The Company has determined that it operates in a single segment. ### Note 8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The financial statements were approved by management and available for issuance on January 10, 2025. Subsequent events have been evaluated through this date. {12}------------------------------------------------ #### **SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION** **December 31, 2024** {13}------------------------------------------------ #### **COMPUTATION OF NET CAPITAL UNDER RULE 15c3-1 OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION** #### **DECEMBER 31, 2024** | Total member's capital | \$

The Company does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3; - 2. The Company is filing an Exemption Report relying 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 selling securities of one issuer or associated issuers, selling limited partnerships in primary distributions, selling managed futures mutual funds, and private placement securities throughout the most recent fiscal year; and - 3. The Company (1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4; (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry proprietary accounts of broker-dealers (as defined in 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. The Company's management is responsible for 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 Company's compliance with the exemption provisions and that the Company's other business activities were limited to selling securities of one issuer or associated issuers, selling limited partnerships in primary distributions, selling managed futures mutual funds, and private placement securities and (1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers (other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription-way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company); (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry proprietary accounts of broker-dealers (as defined in 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. 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 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5. Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania January 10, 2025 {17}------------------------------------------------ ![](_page_17_Picture_0.jpeg) ## Campbell Financial Services, LLC's Exemption Report Campbell Financial Services, LLC (the "Company") is a registered broker-dealer subject to Rule 17a-5 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5, "Reports to be made by certain brokers and dealers"). This Exemption Report was prepared as required by 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5(d)(1) and (4). To the best of its knowledge and belief, the Company states the following: The Company is filing this Exemption Report relying 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 selling securities of one issuer or associated issuers, selling limited partnerships in primary distributions, selling managed futures mutual funds, and private placement of securities. We do not accept customer funds or securities and will not have possession of any customer funds or securities in connection with our activities.
