In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 203, 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 of these financial statements in accordance with 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 from 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 audits 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 the audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. #### **Report on Supplementary Information** The accompanying information contained in the Supplementary Information section has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statement. 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 Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, if applicable, under Regulation 1.10 under the Commodity Exchange Act. In our opinion, the information contained in the Supplementary Information section is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

39,146 | | {8}------------------------------------------------ ## REDROCK TRADING PARTNERS, LLC NOTESTO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ## Note 1 Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ### *Nature of Business* Redrock Trading Partners, LLC was formed on May 24, 2004 in the State of Arizona as a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC). The LLC was re-domiciled in Georgia on August 12, 2006. The Company is a registered broker-dealer under the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company began operations as a broker-dealer in April 2005. The Company provides services on behalf of clients for the purchase and/or sale of securities and private placements. ## *Estimates* The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. ## *Cash and Cash Equivalents* The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. ### *Revenue Recognition* The Company receives revenue for private placement fees and other miscellaneous services. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation for the transactions are completed under the terms of each engagement and when collection is reasonably assured. During the year ending December 31, 2023, the Company earned all of its fees from one client. The only performance obligation within this agreement is that the customer remains invested in contracted placement. This performance obligation is deemed to be satisfied over time and the fees are recorded quarterly when collection is reasonably assured. #### *Income Taxes* The Company is recognized as a partnership for income tax purposes under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code for Limited Liability Companies. As a result, income and losses of the Company are passed through to the members for income tax reporting purposes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. The tax returns of the past three years have not been audited, and could be subject to audit. #### *Fair Value of Financial Instruments* The Company's financial assets and liabilities are reported in the statement of financial condition at market or fair value or at carrying amounts of approximate current fair value. Financial instruments consist principally of cash and payables. {9}------------------------------------------------ ## REDROCK TRADING PARTNERS,LLC | Note 2 | |-------------------------------| | Concentrations of Credit Risk | | | The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to \$250,000. At December 31, 2023, the Company had no cash in excess of the FDIC insured limits. During the year ending December 31, 2023, one customer accounted for 100% of the company's revenues. | Note 3 | | |--------------------------|--| | Net Capital Requirements | | | | | The Company, as a registered broker-dealer, is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-l). Rule 15c3 l requires the maintenance of minimum net capital of \$5,000, as defined, and requires that aggregate indebtedness, as defined, shall not exceed 15 times net capital. At December 31, 2023, the Company had net capital, as defined, of \$3,, which exceeded the required net capital of \$5,000 by \$3,46. At December 31, 2023, the Company had a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital of %. > Note 4 Fidelity Bond As a FINRA member, the Company is required to maintain minimum fidelity bond coverage of \$100,000.

The ultimate outcome of any such action against the Company could have an adverse impact on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## *REDROCK TRADING PARTNERS, LLC Schedule I ‐ Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3‐1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023* | Computation
