(the Company) is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). The Company was incorporated on May 29, 2013 under the laws of the State of New York and approved by FINRA as a registered broker dealer on February 24, 2015. The Company provides Chaperoning services to its affiliate entities selling Indian securities pursuant to Rule 1 Sa-6 of the Securities Exchange Act, and distributes research produced by its affiliate entities in India to Institutional customers in the United States. #### Basis of Presentation The Company maintains its books and records on the accrual basis of accounting for financial reporting purposes, which is in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and is required by the SEC and FINRA. #### Income Taxes The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC 740-10, the Company is required to evaluate each of its tax positions to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective position. A tax position includes an entity's status and the decision not to file a return. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions for which a provision or liability for income taxes is necessary. #### Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents. #### Deferred Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of the change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company does not have deferred taxes at March 31, 2021 . 6 **1.** {10}------------------------------------------------ #### Estimates The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. #### Revenue Recognition On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, "ASC 606"), using the modified retrospective method of adoption, which creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope. Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over goods or services to a customer. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include investment banking M&A advisory fees to related parties and investment research services. These services include agreements to provide chaperoning services to related parties for which they charge a fee plus any reimbursable expenses and commissions paid to its representatives. Revenue from reimbursed expenses is recognized as the expenses are incurred. Commission expenses are paid to the registered representatives generally over a 4 year period based on written agreements. The representative must be employed for the subsequent years to receive these commissions. Commission expense and related reimbursed commission income are recognized in the same period thus it has no effect on net income. The Company also provides research services to customers and this revenue is recognized as the research is reported used by the customer. #### Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk for cash. #### Furniture and equipment Furniture and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective asset class as follows : | Asset Class | Useful Life | |--------------------------------|-------------| | Office furniture and equipment | 5 years | | Computers | 3 years | #### New Accounting Pronouncements The Company is evaluating new accounting standards and will implement as required. {11}------------------------------------------------ The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases. The Company is a leasee in several noncancelable operating leases, for office space, computers, and other office equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right of use (''ROU") asset at the commencement date of the lease. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments. Variable payments are included in the future lease payments when those variable payments depend on an index or a rate. The discount rate is the implicit rate if it is readily determinable or otherwise the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The implicit rates of our leases are not readily determinable and accordingly, we use our incrementable borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date of all leases. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms and in a similar environment. The ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term term at the amount of the remeasured lease liability (i.e. present value of the remaining lease payments), plus unamortized initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, the the unamortized balance of lease incentives received, and any impairment recognized. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement, and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. We recognize lease cost associated with our short-term lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's short term lease payments for the year were \$26,670. #### **RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION AND CONCENTRATIONS** | For the year ended March 31, 2022, 83% of the Company's revenue was earned | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------| | from affiliated companies and 100% of the accounts receivable balance | | | are from these companies.

The Company has chaperoning agreements with its related parties that state the terms and conditions of each transaction which includes facility income and reimbursed expenses. Related party accounts receivable of \$51,716 was all considered collectable and thus no valuation allowance is considered necessary. The beginning balance in related party receivables was \$543,206 #### 3. Property and Equipment Property and equipment consists of the following at March 31, 2022: | Office Equipment | \$

Management has determined that no significant commitments and contingencies exist as of March 31, 2022. {13}------------------------------------------------ #### **NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-1), 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 1. At March 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of \$2,452,118 which was \$2,202,118 in excess of its required net capital of \$250,000. The Company's percentage of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 2.65%. #### 7. **SUBSEQUENT EVENTS** The Company evaluated subsequent events through July 15, 2022, the date its financial statements were issued. **8** #### **REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS** The Company provides chaperoning services for non U.S. related parties for fundraising activity in the United States. Chaperoning services revenue consist of a fixed fee plus a variable fee based on commissions earned through direct (the related party acts as custodian) trading activity in India by its related party. Chaperoning services are provided monthly and are recognized as services are provided. The Company also bills related chaperoning expenses to the related party, including commission expenses. The Company also provides research to customers and recognizes the revenue as the research is reported to the Company by the customer. The research revenue is reported at gross as there is no direct cost associated with each transaction. 10 **6.** {14}------------------------------------------------ #### SCHEDULE I #### COMPUTATION OF NET CAPITAL UNDER RULE 15c3-1 OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AS OF MARCH 31, 2022 | TOTAL SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY QUALIFIED FOR NET

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Rule 15c3-3 Exemption Report pursuant to SEC Rule l 7a-5, in which (I) Edelweiss Financial Services, Inc.(the Company) did not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3, and (2) the Company is filing this Exemption Report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240. l 7a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to include receiving transaction-based compensation for investment banking and chaperoning facilitation fees for related parties and soft dollar investment research fees. In addition, the Company did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company; did not carry accounts of or for customers; and did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. Edelweiss Financial Services, Inc. 's 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 Edelweiss Financial Services, lnc.'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 upon the Company's business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240. l 7a-5, and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions.

To the best of its knowledge and belief, the Company states the following: (1) The Company does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R.

S.240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to effecting securities transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company; receiving transaction-based compensation for identifying potential merger and acquisition opportunities for clients, referring securities transactions to other broker-dealers, participating in distributions of securities in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs(a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4, and the Company (1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, (other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company); (2) did not carry accounts of orfor customers; and (3) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. I, Ranganathan Purushothaman, swear (or affirm) that, to my best knowledge and belief, this Exemption Report is true and correct.
