As a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Company is a member of the Financial lndustry Regulatory Authority, lnc. ("FlNRA'), CME Group (which includes memberships on the CME, lOM, lMM, GEM, and CBOT Exchanges) and various US securities exchanges. The Company currently operates on a fully disclosed basis through its brokers Goldman Sachs and Co., Marex Capital Markets lnc., BNP Paribas, ABN AMRO Clearing USA LLC, and CF Secured, LLC (collectively, the "Clearing Brokers"). The Clearing Brokers, operating pursuant to their respective clearing agreements, handle the clearing and settlement aspects of the Company's trading operations. The Company does not carry customer accounts. The Company is a market-maker in listed equities and options on multiple US securities exchanges, a designated market marker ('DMM') on the NYSE in symbols assigned to the Company and a proprietary trading company. ln the normal course of its business, the Company enters into financial transactions where the risk of potential loss due to changes in market (market risk) orfailure of the other party to the transaction to perform (credit risk) exceeds the amounts recorded for the transaction. The Company's policy is to continuously monitor its exposure to market and counter-party risk through the use of a variety of automated systems and control procedures. # NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES #### Use of Estimates The Company maintains its books and records on an accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ('GAAP"), which requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. lt is reasonably possible that our estimate of liabilities from contingencies could change. The resulting change in these estimates could be material to the financial statements. #### Fair Value FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a hierarchy of fair value inputs. 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 that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by FASB ASC 820, are used to measure fair value. {6}------------------------------------------------ # NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLIGIES (Continued) The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels: - Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date. - Level 2 lnputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. - o Level3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. ln such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company's own assumptions are set to reflect those that the Company believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Exchange-Traded Equity Securties and Corporate Bonds - Exchangetraded equity securities and corporate bonds are generally valued based on quoted prices from the exchange. To the extent these securities are actively traded, valuation adjustments are not applied, and they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise, they are categorized in Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Listed Option Contracts - Listed derivatives that are actively traded are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Listed option contracts valued by the Company using pricing models are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For actively traded options that have observable bid and ask prices, the Company carries positions at the point within the bid-ask range that meets its best estimate of fair value. For options that are not actively traded, the fair value can be either observed or modeled using pricing models. Many pricing models do not entail material subjectivity because the methodologies do not necessitate significant judgment, and the pricing inputs are observed from active markets. Listed option contracts valued by the Company using pricing models are categorized in Level 2 of the fairvalue hierarchy. The pricing models used by the Company are widely accepted by the financial services industry. {7}------------------------------------------------ # NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) #### Trading Activity Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. #### Exchange Memberships The Company's exchange memberships, which represent ownership interests in the CME Group exchanges listed in Note 1 above and provide the Company with the right to conduct business on the exchanges, are recorded at cost or, if an other than temporary impairment in value has occurred, at a value that reflects management's estimate of the impairment. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of exchange memberships was \$1, 1 79,000. #### Current Expected Credit Losses The Company accounts for estimated credit losses on financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis in accordance with FASB ASC 326-20, Financial lnstruments - Credit Losses. FASB ASC 326-20 requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the life of its financial assets as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company continually reviews the credit quality of its counterparties. The Company's receivables from brokers include amounts receivable from unsettled trades and cash deposits. The Company's trades and contracts are cleared through the Clearing Brokers and settled daily between the Clearing Brokers and the Company. Because of this daily settlement, the amount of unsettled credit exposures is limited to the amount owed to the Company for a very short period of time. The Company's related parly receivables are from related parties as described in Note 6. The Company has full knowledge of the related parties and has determined the likelihood of nonpayment is minimal. As such, the Company has no impairment to the related party receivables. #### Goodwill and lntangible Assefs lntangible assets are recorded as part of acquisitions the Company made. lntangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis when impairment indicators are present. The estimated useful lives of intangible assets are five to six years and are amortized using the straight-line method. At December 31, 2022, intangible assets had a gross value of \$7,588,666 and a net value of \$680,380. The Company carries goodwill based on its value at acquisition. The Company performs its annual goodwill asset impairment testing as of December 31 ,2022. #### Contingent Liabilities The Company has contingent liabilities. Refer to Note g for information relating to contingent liabilities. {8}------------------------------------------------ # NOTE 3 . FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company's assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy as described in Note 2. The following table presents information about the Company's securities owned, at fair value, and securities sold, but not yet purchased, at fair value as of December 31,2022: | Quoted Market Prices
Level 1 | | |-----------------------------------------------------|--| | \$ 3,260,588,030
8,177,929
2,783,410,022 | | | \$ 6,052,175,981 | | | \$ 2,667,400,226 | | | 1 4, gg5, 900
3,091,937,637
\$ 5,774, 133,663 | | | | | As part of the Company's acquisition of the trading desks described in Note 9, the Company has a contingent liability, which the Company deems a Level 3 liability in the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2022, the Company values this earn-out accrual at approximately \$10,000,000 and it can be found in the statement of financial condition as the balance of earn-out accrual. #### NOTE 4.INCOME TAXES For purposes of federal, state and local income taxes, the Company's status as a separate tax entity is disregarded. As such, the operations of the Company are treated as held directly by its sole member, the Parent. Accordingly, the Parent is responsible for reporting the Company's federal, state and local taxable income or loss and has elected not to push down the federal, state and local effects of income taxes to the Company, There are no federal, state and localtax sharing arrangements between the Company and the Parent. Additionally, there are no obligations for the Company to fund the federal, state and local tax liabilities, if any, of the Parent. The Company is included in the consolidated federal, state and local income tax returns filed by the Parent. #### NOTE5-RULE15C3-3 The Company is exempt from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 under paragraph (k)(2)(ii) in that the Company carries no customer accounts. T I {9}------------------------------------------------ # NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company has a service agreement with Strike Technologies LLC, an affiliate under common ownership, for a variety of services used in the Company's operations as prescribed in the agreement. Under this agreement, Strike Technologies LLC, an affiliated company, provides infrastructure technology and software development and support to the Company. The Company has an expense sharing and reimbursement agreement with GTS Execution Services LLC ('GTEX'), an affiliated broker-dealer under common control. Through this agreement, the two brokerdealers reimburse each other for personnel costs shared between the two broker-dealers. The Company acts as an executing broker for GTEX. As such, GTEX is charged a fee for trades in which the Company acts as the executing broker. As of December 31 ,2022, approximately \$151,406 remains receivable and is included in related party receivables on the statement of financial condition. The Company also has multiple license agreements with GTS Group US LLC ("GTSG'), an affiliated company and owner ol 100o/o of the Class A membership of the Parent. Under these agreements, GTSG provides office space to the Company. ln May 2021,the Company entered into a revolving credit agreementwith LVS Partners Limited, an indirect equity owner of GTSG, for a principal sum of \$50,000,000. There are no amounts outstanding nor any drawings against the revolving credit agreement as of or throughout the year ended December 31,2022. ln July 2022, GTS lnternational Limited, an indirect owner of GTSG, entered into a demand note with the Company for a principal sum of \$80,000,000. ln connection with the contingent loss estimated in Note 9, the Company executed an agreement with GTS Worldwide, an affiliate that is the ultimate holding company of the Company, to guarantee the estimated loss which represents a recovery of loss. ln connection with this agreement dated January 25,2023, the Company recorded a receivable from the affiliate equal to the loss accrued as of December 31 ,2022. # NOTE 7 - RECEIVABLE FROM AND PAYABLE TO BROKERS As of December 31 ,2022, receivable from and payable to brokers primarily represents amounts due to/from the Company for cash held by the Clearing Brokers, open equity in futures transactions and cash held as collateral for certain transactions. Amounts receivable from the Clearing Brokers may be restricted to the extent that balances were proceeds for securities sold, but not yet purchased. At December 31,2022, approximately \$24,320,021 was receivable from the Clearing Brokers and was substantially in cash, of which approximately \$13,249,197 was held as collateral. At December 31,2022, approximately \$108,393,000 was due to the Clearing brokers. ### NOTE 8 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Company is subjectto the Securities and Exchange Commission's Net Capital 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 December 31,2022, the Company had net capital of \$179,164,080, which exceeded the minimum requirement of \$1,625,216 by \$177,538,864. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was .14 to 1 as of December 31,2022. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES ln the normal course of its business, the Company indemnifies certain service providers, such as clearing and custody agents, against specified potential losses in connection with providing services to the Company. The maximum potential amount of future payments relating to these that the Company could be required to make under these indemnifications cannot be estimated. However, the Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and, as of December 31,2022, has not recorded any contingent liability in the financial statements for these indemniflcations. ln the normal course of business, the Company is subject to regulatory proceedings arising in connection with the conduct of its operations. These matters could result in censures, fines, or other sanctions. The Company is currently subject to regulatory investigations related to the operation of three different algorithmic, proprietary trading strategies. lt is inherently difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of regulatory matters, particularly in cases or proceedings in which substantial or indeterminate damages or fines may be sought. As of December 31 , 2022, the Company accrued \$10,000,000 associated with regulatory matters and can be found as part of accrued expenses and other liabilities on the statement of financial condition. The Company will vigorously defend itself in the event of any action stemming from such investigations. The receivable from GTS Worldwide referenced in Note 6 is related to a loss-recovery associated with such regulatory matters. ln connection with a prior acquisition, the Company has a contingent liability. Based on trading performance, the Company will make annual payments of \$5,000,000 beginning in 2022 and ending in 2024 wilh a total maximum payout of \$15,000,000. The Company made the first payment of \$5,000,000 during the year ended December 31 ,2022, and valued the remaining contingent liability at \$10,000,000 as the balance of earn-out accrual on the statement of financial condition. The Company evaluates annually the fair value of the contingent liability and adjusts as needed. # NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVE CONTRAGTS ln the normal course of business, the Company enters into derivative contracts for trading purposes. Typically, these derivative contracts are traded much like their equities counterpart through the Company's trading strategies and are not utilized to economically match the equities trading objectives of the Company. The Company's derivative trading activities involve the purchase and sale of equity derivative contracts and foreign exchange contracts. The Company records its derivative activities on a mark-to-market basis and changes in market values are reflected in the statement of income. Generally, these financial instruments represent future commitments to purchase or sell other financial instruments at specific terms and future dates. Each of these contains varying degrees of off-balance sheet risk whereby changes in the market value of the securities underlying the financial instruments or the Company's satisfaction of the obligations may exceed the amount recognized in the statement of financial condition. Positions in derivatives are carried at fair value and are based on quoted market prices (Level 1). Unrealized gains and losses in open derivative positions are netted against each other with the net amount of approximately \$1 ,054,000 included in the receivable from brokers at December 31,2022. Trading activity gains and losses from derivative contracts are included in net trading income on the statement of income. {11}------------------------------------------------ # NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS (Continued) As of December 31 , 2022, the approximate gross contractual or notional amounts of derivative financial instruments are as follows | | Gross notional | Gross notional | |-----------------------------------------------|-------------------|--------------------| | | amount assets | amount Iiabilities | | Equity derivative contracts - listed equities | \$ 55,424,340,877 | \$ 66,334,114,276 | | Equity derivative contracts - commodities | 425,486 ,751 | 709 ,707,367 | | Foreign exchange derivative contracts | 403 ,116, 135 | 409,856,460 | | Foreig n exchange fonuards | 2,169,314 | 1.431,356 | | Total | \$ 55,424,340,877 | \$ 66,334,114,276 | # NOTE 11 - TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES The Parent has a minority interest investment in a third-party broker-dealer (the "Borrowe/' or "Affiliate"). ln May 2019, the Company issued a demand note to the Borrower. The principal of the demand note is \$3,000,000 and has an interest rate of 3o/o per annum on the unpaid balance. The entire principal and any accrued interest is fully and immediately payable upon demand of the Company. The Company has not requested payment as of December 31 ,2022. The principal and accrued interest associated with the demand note are found in other assets on the statement of financial condition. Unrelated and in addition to the demand note with the Affiliate, the Company has a revenue sharing agreement with the Affiliate. The Company has an expense sharing and reimbursement agreement with Radkl Technologies LLC ("Radkl"), an affiliated entity. Through this agreement, Radkl reimburses the Company for personnel costs between the two companies. At December 31,2022, approximately \$138,355 remains receivable by the Company and is included as part of related party receivables on the statement of financial condition. # NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Subsequent to year end, there were distributions totaling \$42,000,000.
