("Global") as of December 3 I, 2018, the related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). Jn our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global at December 31, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. ## **Basis for Opinion** These financial statements are the responsibility of Global's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Global'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 Global 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. 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 accompanying infonnation contained in Schedules l, ll, and Ill has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Global's financial statements. Such information is the responsibility ofGlobal's management. Our audit procedures included detennining whether the information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and perfonning procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information. ln forming our opinion on the information, we evaluated whether such information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with Rule l 7a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. ln our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. We have served as Global' s auditor since 2017. February 21, 2019 {4}------------------------------------------------ # **HBK GLOBAL SECURITJES L.P.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 (EXPRESSED IN OOO's OF** U.S. **DOLLARS)** #### **1. Organization** HBK Global Securities L.P. ("Global"), a Delaware limited partnership formed on March 4, 2002, is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). FINRA granted membership to Global to operate as a broker-dealer on October 9, 2002. Global is a subsidiary of HBK Securities GP Inc., its general partner (the "General Partner"), and HBK Securities LP Inc., its limited partner (together with the General Partner, the "Parn1ers"), each of which is a wholly owned subsidiary of **HBK** Master Fund L.P. (the "Master Fund"). Global's only business is to borrow and lend securities for its own account. Its counterparties in these transactions include the Master Fund and unaffiliated institutions such as banks and broker-dealers. ### **2. Significant Accounting Policies** # Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been presented on tile accrual basis of accounting in conformity wilh accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP''). #### Use of Estimates GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financ ial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although Global considers estimates to be reliable based on infom1ation available at the balance sheet date, actual results could differ from those estimates. #### Cash and Cash Equivalents *Cash and cash equivalents,* as disclosed on the Statement of Financial Condition, is defined as cash on deposit at financial institutions and investments in money market funds. At December 31, 2018, *Cash and cash equivalents* consisted of cash on deposit of \$53,402 and investments in money market funds of \$25,770. Money market funds are carried at net asset value, which approximates fair value. #### Foreign Currency Transfation Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into the U.S. dollar equivalent using the spot foreign currency exchange rate in effect at the time of reporting. Revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the daily spot rates in effect at the time of the transaction. #### Income and Expense Recognition Rebate fee income (expense) and interest income (expense) are accnied as earned. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. #### Income Taxes In accordance with federal income tax regulations, no income taxes are levied on a parmership, but rather on the individual partners. Consequently, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying fmancial statements. Global files an informatfonaa tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and is therefore subject to examination under statute of limitations for which tax adjustments may be necessary and retroactive to all open tax years. {9}------------------------------------------------ # **HBK GLOBAL SECURITIES L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 (EXPRESSED** IN **000's OF** U.S. **DOLLARS)** Global is subject to authoritative guidance with respect to accounting for uncertain tax positions. The General Partner has analyzed Global's tax positions for all open tax years and has concluded there are no uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition or disclosure as of December 31, 2018. Global \.Vould recognize interest and, if applicable, penalties for any uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalty expense would be recorded on the Statement of Operations. No such interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions were recorded or accrued for the year ended December 31, 2018. #### New Accounting Pronouncements ln May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("F AS.B") issued new revenue recognition. guidance. The new standard requires an entity to recogn ize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption of this guidance did not impact the financia l statement amounts. ln February 2016, the F ASB issued new lease accounting guidance. The new standard increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. TI1e guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 20 l 8. The General Partner has assessed the impact of this guidance and currently believes adoption will not impact the financial statement amounts. ln June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance amending the current incurred loss impairment methodology. The new standard amends the methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable infonnation to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The General Partner has assessed **the** impact of this guidance and currently believes adoption will not impact the fmancia l statement amounts. #### **3. Securities Financing Transactions** Global borrows and lends equity and debt securities for its own account. Using an approach commonly referred to as "matched-book," Global borrows securities from one institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer, and simultaneously, or soon thereafter, re-loans the same securities to another institution. The term of the securities borrowed and loaned is overnight and continuous. Securities borrowed transactions require Global to deposit wiU1 tl1e lender cash in an amount generally in excess of the fair value of the securities being borrowed. With respect to securities loaned, Global receives collateral in the form of cash in an amount generally in excess of the fair value of securities loaned. Global monitors U1e fair value of securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or returned as necessary. At December 31, 2018, the fair value of the underlying securities borrowed and loaned was \$892,907 and \$860,048, respectively. Securities borrowed and loaned are classified as *Receivables for securities borrowed* and *Payables for securities loaned* on the Statement of Financial Condition at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. Alt110ugh securities borrowed and loaned are transacted under a master securities lending agreement, such receivables and payables with the same cmmterparty are not offset on the Statement of Financial Condition. Fees received or paid by Global are classified as *Rebate f ee income* or *Rebate fee expense* on the Statement of Operations. {10}------------------------------------------------ # **HBK GLOBAL SECURITIES L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 (EXPRESSED** IN **OOO's OF** U.S. **DOLLARS)** The below tabl.e presents the gross securities borrowed and loaned included on the Statement of Financial Condition as of December 3 1, 2018. This table also presents amounts not offset on the Statement of Financial Condition including the related amount of netting with Ille same counterparty allowed under master securities lending agreements and Ille fair value of the underlying financial instruments borrowed and loaned. | Securities

Where this is the case, the value of the und.erlying financial instmment collateral is limited to the Amounts Presented on the Statement of Financial Condition adjusted for Counterparty Netting. As a result, the net amount presented above may not represent counterparty exposure. #### **4. Regulatory Requirements** As a broker-dealer registered with the SEC, Global is subject to the SEC's uniform net capital rule, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital. Global has elected to use Ille alternative method, which requires that it maintain minimum net capital as defined in Rule 15c3-l under the Securities and Exchange Act of [934 (Ille " I 934 Act"), equal to the greater of \$250 or 2% of aggregate debit balances (as defined in Rule l5c3-3 under tbe 1934 Act). At December 31, 2018, Global had net capital of \$ 11 1,844, which is \$111 ,594 in excess of its minimum net capital requirement of \$250 on that date. ## **5. Off-Balance Sheet Risks and Concentrations of Credit Risk** Global's activities are with the Master Fund and other i.nstitutions such as banks, broker-dealers, and clearing organizations. These cotulterparties may fail to satisfy their contractual obligations and, as such, have associated credit risk. This credit risk primarily exists in three situations. First, Global posts collateral with counterparties under securities borrowed transactions. If the value of tlle securitjes declines, the counterparty will be obligated to return the collateral. If the counterparty is unable to satisfy the obligation, Global may incur a loss, measured on a daily basis by the difference between the value of the securities bo rrowed and the higher value of the collateral held by the counterparty. Second, Global accepts collateral from cout1terparties under securities loaned transactions. ff the value of the loaned securities increases, t11e counterparty is required to post additional collateral. If the counterparty is unable to satisfy this obligation, Global may incur a loss, measured on a daily basis by the difference between the value of the collateral held by Global and the higher value of the securities loaned. Finally, in some cases Global may transfer collateral to a counterparty before receiving securities from Ille counterparty. If the counterparty fails to deliver the securities (and does not return the collateral) Global will incur a loss. During the year ended December 31, 2018, Global did not incur losses from any of the situations described above. From time to time, Global may have concentrations with counterparties. As of December 3 I, 2018, exclusive of transactions with Ille Master Fund discussed in Note 7, Global had two counterparties tllat held collateral in excess of l 0% of *Receivables for securities borrowed,* for a total of \$361 ,962, and one counterparty t11at posted collateral in excess of I 0% of *Payable.for securities loaned,* for a total of \$95,567. {11}------------------------------------------------ # **HBK GLOBAL SECURITIES L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2018 (EXPRESSED IN OOO's OF U.S. DOLLARS)** #### **6. Commitments and Contingencies** In the normal course of business, Global may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications and contain a variety of representations and warranties. Global's maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against Global but have not yet occurred. However, Global expects the risk of material loss to be remote. Global could be a party to various actions in the ordinary course of business. These actions could include threatened or asserted litigation or claims. Actions asserted or deemed probable of assertion against Global that, in the opinion of management, both give rise to probable liabilities and can be reasonably estimated are accrued. There were no accruals for any such actions **at** December 3I,2018. #### **7. Related-Party Transactions** In the normal course of business, Global may enter into securities borrowed and loaned transactions with tbe Master Fund. At December 31 , 2018, Global had posted collateral in the amount of\$129,194 under securities borrowed transactions with the Master Fund and held collateral in the amount of\$458,041 U11der securities loaned transactions with the Master Ftmd. In addition, for the year ended December 3 1, 2018, *Rebate fee income* included \$4,627 and *Rebate Jee expense* included \$8,448 in relation to transactions with the Master Fund. On the Statement of Financial Condition, *Rebate fees receivable* included \$223 due from the Master Fund and *Rebate fees payable* included \$787 owed to the Master Fund at December 31 , 2018. Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement"), the Manager provides Global with personnel, office space, technology (including hardware, software, and data), and other general and administrative services in exchange for an annual service charge. The annual service charge is determ.ined by the Manager based on an estimate of the percentage of use. Expenses covered under tJ1e Services Agreement are classified as *Affiliate service charge* on the Statement of Operations. HBK Global is invoiced for and pays one-twelfth of the annual service charge each month. As a result, there is no outstanding payable for this expense as of December 31, 2018. Ou January 1, 2018, all Global employees were transferred to the Manager. The Manager assumed all obligations for the outstanding deferred bonus awards awarded to these employees in return for Global's payment to the Manager of cash equal to the deferred compensation liability at that date. #### **8. Subsequent Events** The General Partner has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through February 2 1, 2019, the date the financial statements were available for issuance. There have been no other material subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in the financial statements. {12}------------------------------------------------ #### **SUPPLEMENT AL INFORMATION SCHEDULE** I ## **HBK GLOBAL SECURITIES L.P.

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying HBK Global Securities L.P. 's Exemption Report, in which (J) HBK Global Securities L.P. ("Global") identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. § 15c3-3(k) under which Global claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. § 240. I 5c3-3 (k): (2)(i) (the "exemption provisions") and (2) Global stated that it met the identified exemption provisions in 17 C.F .R. § 240.15c3-3 (k) throughout the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 20 l 8 without exception. 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 G lobal'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. This repo11 is intended solely for the information and use of the Partners, management, the SEC, FJNRA, other regulatory agencies that rely on Rule l 7a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in their regulation of registered brokers and dealers, and other recipients specified by Rule 17a-5(d)(6) and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
