In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Blue Sand Securities, LLC as of March 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. ## **Basis for Opinion** These financial statements are the responsibility of Blue Sand Securities, LLC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Blue Sand Securities, LLC'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 Blue Sand Securities, 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.

("FINRA"). The Company is a Delaware Limited Liability Company ("LLC") fonned on August 30, 2006. The Company does not claim an exemption from Rule l 5c3-3 in reliance upon footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 dated July 30, 2013, and as discussed in Question 8 on the related FAQ released by SEC staff. The Company is a third-party marketer of hedge funds, introducing institutional and accredited investors to hedge funds with which the Company has entered into marketing agreements. The Company's offices are located in, Florida, Maryland, Arizona, New York, and Massachusetts. The Company does not carry security accounts for customers or pe1fonn custodial functions relating to customer securities. In March, 2022 the Company's ownership was transferred from an LLC to the two individual members. ## **(2) Summary of significant accounting policies** Basis of preparation - These financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Estimates - The preparation of the 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 reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition - Revenue from contracts with customers includes management fees and retainers. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract tenns. Significant judgement is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events. *Management* fees-Management fees are typically received quarterly but are recognized as earned on a pro rata basis over the term of the contract. The Company provides management advisory services on a daily basis. The Company believes the performance obligation for providing the management advisory services is satisfied over time because the client is receiving and consuming benefits as they are provided by the Company. Fee arrangements are based upon a percentage applied to the client's assets under management. *Retainer* fees-Retainer fees are recognized on an accrual basis and included in income upon completion of the perfonnance obligation in accordance with the contract. Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of less than three months, and not held for sale in the ordinary course of business, to be cash and cash equivalents. {7}------------------------------------------------ Accounts receivable - Accounts receivable represents management fee and retainers due for services provided to its customers. The Company does not require collateral for accounts receivable arising from the nonnal course of business. Management routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence believes accounts receivable are stated at the net realizable value and credit risk exposure is limited. If amounts become uncollectible, they are charged to operations when that detennination is made. The Company provides an allowance for uncollectible accounts based on prior experience and management's assessment of the collectability of existing specific accounts. Management believes that all accounts receivable as of March 31 , 2022 are collectible, and therefore no allowance has been provided for uncollectible accounts. Fixed assets - Fixed assets are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line depreciation method over their estimated useful lives. Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over 7 years. Upon disposal, property and equipment and the related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations. Income taxes - The Company, with the consent of its members, is organized as a limited liability company for income tax purposes and has elected to be taxed as a partnership. The members of the Company are responsible for income taxes on the Company's taxable income. Accordingly, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company's policy is to make cash distributions for the payment of taxes by the members. The Company is subject to Massachusetts state and New York City local taxes, which are based on income earned . . The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with F ASB ASC 740, *Income Taxes.* F ASB ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax provisions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. F ASB ASC 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions would "more-likely-than-not" be sustained if challenged by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has evaluated any tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions would "more-likely-than-not" be sustained if challenged by the applicable tax authority. Management is unaware of any unrecognized tax positions in existence as of March 31 , 2022 Fair Value Measurements - The fair value of the Company's financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates to receive in connection with the sale of an asset or paid in connection with the transfer ofa liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date ( exit price). The fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques is as follows: Level l - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 - observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and {8}------------------------------------------------ ## **(2) Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)** Liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; Level 3 - unobservable inputs reflecting management's assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. The can-ying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expense, investments, commission's payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. Recent Accounting Pronouncements -Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ## **(3) Fixed Assets** Fixed assets consist of the following at March 31, 2022: | Furniture, fixtures and equipment | \$37,586 | |-----------------------------------|----------| | Less accumulated depreciation | (31,527) | | Total | \$6,059 | Depreciation expense charged to operations was \$1,378 for the year ended March 31, 2022. ### **(4) Prepaid expenses** Prepaid expenses consist of advance payment of regulatory fees and other expenses that will be expensed within a year. The balance was \$5,943 as of March 31, 2022. ### **(5) Net capital requirements** The Company is subject to the SEC Unifonn Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-l), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to I ( and the rule of the "applicable" exchange also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to I). The Company does not hold or receive customer securities. As a result, the Company operates pursuant to a minimum net capital requirement of \$5,000. {9}------------------------------------------------ At March 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of\$1,025,419 which was \$909,025 in excess of its required net capital of \$116,394. The ratio of aggregated indebtedness to net capital at March 31, 2022 was I. 7025 to I ## **(6) Commitments and contingencies** #### Leases In July, 2021, the Company entered into a 3-year operating lease. The Company recorded a total operating lease liability and right of use asset of \$75,871. The Company measures its lease liability at the net present value of the remaining lease payments. The rate implicit in the Company's lease is not readily detenninable; therefore, in order to value the Company's lease liability, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate which reflects the fixed rate at which the Company could borrow a similar amount for the same tenn, and with similar collateral as in the lease at commencement date. The Company used a rate of 1.5% to determine the lease liability. The weighted average lease term is 2.6 years. Rent expense was \$ 28,007 for the year ended March 31, 2022. At March 3 I, 2022, the Company has non-cancellable operating lease commitments, excluding variable considerations. The undiscounted annual future minimum lease payments are summarized by year as follows: | 2023 | \$25,695 | |----------------------------------------------------|-----------| | 2024 | 26,460 | | 2025 | 6,603 | | Total minimum lease payments | \$58,818 | | Less: amounts representing interest | 0.027) | | Present value of minimum lease payments \$57, 79 l | | | Current portion of operating lease | (24,997} | | Operating lease, long tenn | \$ 32.794 | As of March 31, 2022 the Company's office lease has remaining tenn of less than 3 years. The lease includes early tennination and/or extension options; however, exercise of these options are at the Company's sole discretion. As of March 31, 2022, the Company determined it is not reasonably certain it will exercise the option to extend its lease or terminate early. The lease agreement does not contain any material residual value, guarantees, or materially restrictive covenants and as of March 31, 2022, the Company is not subleasing to any third party. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## Litigation The Company from time to time may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its ordinary course of business. Management believes that there are no claims or actions pending or threatened against the Company, the ultimate disposition of which would have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. ### Risk Management The Company maintains various fonns of insurance that the Company's management believes are adequate to reduce the exposure to these risks to an acceptable level. On March 11 , 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (Covid-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The Covid-19 pandemic has continued to spread and has already caused severe global disruptions. The extent of Covid-l 9's affect on our operational and finance perfonnance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict considering the rapidly evolving landscape. As of the date of the independent registered public accounting finn report, the Company cannot reasonable estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, or the extent to which the disruption may materially impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in fiscal year 2023. ### (7) **Concentration risks** The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in a bank account which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk in such account. The Company is engaged in contract agreements with various counterparties. In the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to some risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty on a case by case basis. The Company had three customers that represented approximately 30%, 18% and 7% respectively of the Company's revenues for the year ended March 31, 2022 and approximately 54% , 18% and 8% respectively of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2022. ## **(8) Pension Plan** In 2014, the Company adopted a defined benefit pension plan. All employees and partners not excluded by class are eligible to enter on the January **1** or July 1 coincident with or following the completion of one year of service and reaching the age of 21. {11}------------------------------------------------ Participants are fully vested upon completing three years of service, excluding years with less than 1,000 hours. The pension benefit is payable for the life of the participant and begins on the nonnal retirement date, which is 62 years old. Selected financial information for the pension plan is as follows: | | 2022 | |---------------------------------------|-------------| | Change in projected benefit liability | | | Liability at April I, 2021 | \$3,275,802 | | Interest cost | 163,562 | | Employer contributions | 409,934 | | Liability at March 31, 2022 | \$3,849,298 | | Change in fair value of plan assets | | | Fair value at April I, 202 I | \$2,740,986 | | | \$2,740,986 | |------------------------------|-------------| | Actual return on plan assets | (2434) | | Employer contributions | 485,400 | | Fair value at March 31, 2022 | \$3.223,952 | | Funded status | \$(625,346) | | | | The components of benefit expense are as follows for the year ended March 31, 2022: | Components of benefit expense: | | |--------------------------------|------------| | Service Cost | \$163,562 | | Interest cost | 590,613 | | Benefit expense | \$_154,175 | The following table provides the weighted-average assumptions used to determine projected benefit liability and benefit expense for the pension plan as of March 31, 2022: | Weighted-average assumptions | | |--------------------------------|-------| | Liability discount rate | 6.07% | | Expected return on plan assets | 5.5% | | Plan Assets | | {12}------------------------------------------------ The pension plan investment strategy includes the use of actively managed securities and is reviewed periodically in conjunction with plan liabilities, an evaluation of market conditions, tolerance for risk and cash requirements for benefit payments. The investment objective is to ensure that funds are available to meet the plan's benefit obligations when they become due. The overall investment strategy is to prudently invest plan assets in a well-diversified portfolio of equity and high-quality debt securities to achieve the long-tenn expectations. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is 5.5%. Plan assets measured at fair value as of March 3 I, 2022 are categorized consistently by level as follows: | | Total | Level 1 | Level2 | Level3 | |----------------------------|---------|-------------------------|--------|------------| | U.S. Government securities | | \$2,242,581 \$2,242,581 | \$ - | \$- | | Hedge fund | 981 371 | | | 981 371 | | Total | | U,,223,952 \$ 2.242,5BJ | | \$ 981.371 | The changes in Level 3 plan assets are as follows during the year ended March 31 , 2021: Beginning balance at April I, 2021 \$ 889,176 Purchases 50,841 Unrealized gain 92.195 Ending balance at March 31, 2022 \$ 9813 71 ## **(9) Related Party note receivables** The Company has a note receivable with a registered representative.
