## *Opinion on the Financial Statement*

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of SIG Brokerage, **LP** (the "Entity") as of December 31, 2021 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 Entity as of December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

## *Basis for Opinion*

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Entity's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Entity's financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with th e Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Entity 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 Entity's auditor since 2010.

#### *Notes to Statement of Financial Condition December 31, 2021*

## *NOTE A - ORGANIZATION*

*SIG Brokerage, LP (the "Entity") is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and its designated examining regulatory authority is the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. The Entity is also a member of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and the NYSE MKT. As a member, the Entity provides order execution services for affiliated registered broker-dealers on the NYSE and the NYSE MKT. The Entity is owned 99% by SIG Specialists Holdings, Inc. ("SSHI") and 1% by SIG Brokerage, LLC.* 

## *NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES*

*The Entity records order execution revenue and related expenses on a trade-date basis.* 

*Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.* 

*The Entity maintains cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.* 

*In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Contracts with Customers, revenue from contracts includes revenue streams earned from affiliates under current agreements. Each time the Entity executes an order from an affiliate it has fulfilled all performance obligations set forth in the agreement, and therefore, recognizes and records the revenue associated with order execution on a trade date basis.* 

*In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses ("ASC 326"), the Entity assessed certain financial assets measured at amortized cost for credit losses using a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the financial asset, as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.* 

*Receivable from clearing broker; the Entity has concluded that there are currently no expected credit losses based on the nature and contractual life or expected life of the financial assets held at the Entity's clearing broker. The Entity monitors the capital adequacy of such organizations.* 

*This statement of financial condition has. been prepared in conformity with accounting principl,es generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the use of estimates by management.* 

## *NOTE C- RECEIVABLE FROM CLEARING BROKER*

*The clearing and depository operations for the Entity are provided by Merrill Lynch Professional Clearing Corp.* 

*At December 31, 2021, the amount receivable from clearing broker reflected on the statement of financial condition represents amounts due from this clearing broker.* 

## *NOTE D- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS*

*The Entity executes trades for affiliated broker-dealers for which it receives a fee or owes a rebate, based on liquidity provided. The fee is based on monthly order execUJtion charges, plus a surcharge to cover other costs. As of December 31, 2021, the affiliates owed the Entity \$580,240 related to these fees.* 

{6}------------------------------------------------

## *Notes to Statement of Financial Condition December 31, 2021*

## *NOTE D- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)*

*The Entity is under common control with Susquehanna International Group, LLP ("SIG"). SIG acts as a common payment agent for the Entity and various affiliates for various direct operating expenses. No payable exists related to these direct operating costs. SIG may also provide ancillary and administrative services to the Entity and, in such event, such services are provided at no cost to the Entity.* 

*Because of its short-term nature, the fair value of the payable to and receivable from affiliates approximate their carrying amounts.* 

*The Entity and various other entities are under common ownership and control. As a result, management can exercise its discretion when determining which entity will engage in new or current business activities and/or trade new products. Therefore, the financial position presented herein may not necessarily be indicative of that which would be obtained had these entities operated autonomously.* 

#### *NOTE E - INCOME TAXES*

*No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the Entity is taxed as a disregarded entity and, therefore, is not subject to federal income taxes. The Entity is currently not subject to state or local income taxes.* 

*At December 31, 2021, management has determined that there are no material uncertain income tax positions.* 

## *NOTE F - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENT*

*As a registered broker-dealer and member firm of the NYSE, the Entity is subject to the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Ru le 15c3-1. The Entity computes its net capital under the basic method permitted by the rule, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital of 6-2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, as defined, or \$5,000, whichever is greater.
