## **Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

To the Member of SGI Securities LLC

## **Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of SGI Securities LLC as of December 31 , 2023, the related statements of operations and changes in member's equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes ( collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SGI Securities LLC as of December 31 , 2023, 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 SGI Securities LLC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on SGI 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 SGI 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.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. 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 our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

## **Auditor's Report on Supplemental Information**

The information in Schedule I - Computation of Net Capital Pursuant to Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Schedule II - Explanation Regarding Exemption from the Reserve Requirement under Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of SGI Securities LLC's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of SGI Securities LLC'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 17 C.F.R. §240. l 7a-5. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**December 31, 2023** 

# **NOTE A** - **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

## **ORGANIZATION**

SGI Securities LLC (formerly known as SGI Cambium Securities) (the "Company") was formed as a sole member New York limited liability company on September 10, 2010. The company was granted registration as a securities broker-dealer on June 7, 2011 by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"), as amended, and has been a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") since June 2011. The Company is registered in the state of New York to do business in the private placement of securities. The activities of broker-dealers are regulated by industry through the Act and rules and regulations of FINRA. The Company's primary sources of revenue are from fees generated in connection with the areas of private placements and debt offerings.

## **ESJIMAJES**

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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

# **REVENUE RECOGNIJION**

Fee revenue is earned from providing advisory services. The Company accounts for revenue earned from contracts with customers under "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)".

Fee revenue is typically fixed and determined based on the terms of the contract; therefore, they are included in the transaction price at the time of contract inception.

Some fee revenue is considered variable, as it is contingent upon a future event and is excluded from the transaction price until the uncertainly associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved , which is expected to occur upon achievement of the specified milestone. For the year ending December 31 , 2023, the Company did not recognize any fee revenue that is considered variable.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the promised deliverables or services to its customers. **A** deliverable or service is transferred to a customer when , or as, the customer obtains control of that deliverable or service. **A** performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring the Company's progress in, satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the deliverables or services to the customer. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised deliverable or service. Retainers and other fees received from customers prior to recognizing revenue are reflected as contract liabilities.

The amount of revenue recognized in either situation reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those promised goods or services (i.e. the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors , including the effects of variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainties with respect to the amount are resolved. In determining when to include variable compensation in the transaction price, the Company considers the range of possible outcomes, the predictive value of its past experiences, the time period of when uncertainties expect to be resolved and the amount of consideration that is susceptible to factors outside of the Company's influence, such as market volatility or the judgment and actions of third parties.

The timing of the Company's revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records a contract liability until the performance obligations are satisfied.

## **NOTE C** - **STATEMENT REGARDING EXEMPTION FROM RESERVE REQUIREMENT**

The Company does not effect transactions for customers as defined in SEC Rule 15c3-3 and, accordingly, does not claim exemption from preparing computations as defined in that rule. The Company files an exception report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5.
