In our opinion, the statement of financial condition presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. ### **Basis for Opinion** This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement based on our audit. We are apublic 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 statement is 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 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 Company's since 2019.

ORGANIZATION** Hedgebay Se~urities,. ~LC (th\_e "Comp~ny") was organized in Delaware in 2001 and operates as a broker-dealer in secuntres registered wrth the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hedgebay Holdings, LLC (the "Parent"), and its customers are located throughout the United States. # **2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ### **Basis of Presentation** The accounting policies and reporting practices of the Company conform to the practices in the bro\_ker-dealer industry and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. ## **Government and Other Regulation** The Company's business is subject to significant regulation by various governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations, including the SEC and FINRA. Such regulation includes, among other things, periodic examinations by these regulatory bodies to determine whether the Company is conducting and reporting its operations in accordance with the applicable requirements of these organizations. As a registered broker dealer, the Company is subject to the SE C's Net Capital rule (Rule 15c3-1) which requires that the Company maintain a minimum net capital, as defined. In addition, the Company relies on Footnote 74 of the 2013 Release to the Securities and Exchange Act to be compliant with the provisions of SEC Rule 15c3-3. ### **Cash and Cash Equivalents** The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments having original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company may, during the ordinary course of business, maintain account balances with banks in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. **Revenue Recognition** Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606 Investment banking revenues and related fees are recorded when all contractual obligations have been performed and the Company is reasonably assured of their collection. The contractual obligations especially include securing the necessary approvals from the transfer agents and general partners on the respective transactions. Generally, revenues are due at or shortly after the close of the respective transaction, and therefore the Company does not have a significant amount of commissions receivable at the end of a reporting period. **Use of Estimates** . • • The preparation of the Statement of Financial Condition in conformity with accountin~ principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management t~ make est1mat~s and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results can differ from those estimates. **Property and Eq~ipment** less accumulated depreciation.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** ### **Receivable from Commissions** Commissions are generally collected in full within a month of invoicing. As such, management has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts on these receivables. Management records an allowance for bad debts based on a collectability review of specific accounts. Any receivables deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance. ### **Income Taxes** The Company is considered a disregarded entity for tax purposes. Any tax liabilities due as a result of the Companies operations shall be borne by the Parent. As such, no tax provision is made by the Company. ### **Leases** The Company adopted ASC 842 which requires the recordation of a right-of-use asset and related lease liability on the Statement on Financial Condition. Such amounts are based on the net present value of future lease obligations, using the Company's effective cost of capital to impute interest. ### **Segment Reporting** The Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced enhancements to segment reporting requirements for public entities, including brokerdealers. The update aimed to improve the transparency and usefulness of financial disclosures for investors and other stakeholders. ASU 2023-07 disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years starting after December 15, 2023. The Company has identified its President as the Chief Operating Decision Maker as specified in ASU 2023-07. Company management reviewed the ASU 2023-07 disclosure requirements and determined that no additional disclosures are required as the Company has only one reportable segment. ### **3. RELATED PARTIES** The Company leases office space under an operating lease expiring in 2026. The lease is with an entity owned by certain members of the Parent. The Company has a contract with a related party which is controlled by certain members of the Parent. The contract is for technology to be utilized by the Company # **4.
