ANSON Certified Public Accountant 18455 Burbank Blvd., Suite 404, Tarzana, CA 91356 . Tel. (818) 636-5660 . Fax (818) 881-2605 ### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Members' and Board of Members of Treasury Brokerage, LLC ### Opinion on the Financial Statements I have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Treasury Brokerage, LLC as of December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Treasury Brokerage, LLC as of December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. ### Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of Treasury Brokerage, LLC's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on Treasury Brokerage, LLC's financial statements based on my audit. I am a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and am required to be independent with respect to Treasury Brokerage, LLC in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that I 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. My 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. My audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion. Brian W. Anson, CPA I have served as Treasury Brokerage, LLC's auditor since 2015.

ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION Treasury Brokerage, LLC (the "Company"), is a California limited liability company. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Treasury Holdings, LLC. Prior to 2016, the Company operated under the name of Treasury Curve, LLC. The Company is a registered Broker-Dealer licensed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. The Company retails mutual funds, consisting primarily of the Company's clients placing funds with various financial institutions. # 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES #### Basis of Presentation The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. #### Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. #### Income Taxes The Company is treated as a disregarded entity for Federal Income Tax purposes. Consequently, Federal Income taxes are not payable, nor provided for by the Company. The sole member is also a California LLC. The members of the parent company are taxed individually on both company's earnings. California has an annual LLC filing requirement and the Company has paid a minimum Franchise Tax of \$800, plus a fee of \$6,000 based upon gross receipts. The Company has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. The tax returns of the parent LLC, which as noted above include the earnings of the Company, remain open for examination by tax authorities for a period of three years from the date which they are filed. The 2018, 2019, and 2020 Federal and California income tax returns are currently open for examination. #### Concentration of Revenue The Company currently receives 79.28% of its revenue from four clients. ### Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains a cash balance with a financial institution. Management performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the institution. The Company has not sustained any material credit losses from this instrument. {7}------------------------------------------------ ### TREASURY BROKERAGE, LLC Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2021 #### Revenue The Company earns its revenue from the sale of Investment Company Shares: This includes concessions earned from the sale of open-end mutual funds that contain a load. Included are commissions charged on transactions on no load funds and UITs to the extent they are open end companies. #### Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was \$0. # 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid \$120,000 to Treasury Technologies, LLC (a related party) for Portal Licensing Fees. The Company also has an expense sharing agreement with Treasury Technologies, LLC. This agreement includes rent and employee benefits. For the year ended December 31, 2021, Rent expense was \$13,770 and Employee Benefits were \$38,237. At December 31, 2021 the Company owed Treasury Technologies, LLC \$37,463 for these shared expenses. In February, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases, including recognizing a right to use asset and lease liability for all lease agreements. In as much as the lease agreement for office rent is carried by the Parent company, the Company is not subject to this requirement. # 4. 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 a minimum net capital and a prescribed ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, as defined under such provisions. Net capital and the related net capital ratio may fluctuate on a daily basis. At December 31, 2021, the Company's net capital of \$273,618 was \$268,618 in excess of its net capital requirement of \$5,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.21 to 1. The Securities and Exchange Commission permits a ratio of no greater than 15 to 1. # 5. COMPUTATION OF DETERMINATION OF RESERVE REQUIREMENTS Under its membership agreement with FINRA and relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5, the Company (1) does not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, (2) does not and will not carry accounts of or for customers, and (3) does not and will not carry PAB accounts. Consequently, a reserve requirement was not calculated, and a reconciliation to that calculation is not included herein. {8}------------------------------------------------ ### TREASURY BROKERAGE, LLC Notes to Financial Statements Year Ended December 31, 2021 # 6. FAIR VALUE FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritized the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes the transaction to sell the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by FASB ASC 820 are used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The unobservable inputs should be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data. The Company had no levels to measure at December 31, 2021. # 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the statement of financial condition through January 18, 2022, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. During this period, no subsequent events occurred that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Source: SEC EDGAR via Adviser Search (https://search.stillhousedata.com).
