#### Hamilton Lane Securities LLC Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended March 31, 2025

#### 1. Organization and Nature of Business

Hamilton Lane Securities LLC (the "Company") is incorporated in the state of Delaware and is located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Company is wholly owned by Hamilton Lane Advisors, L.L.C. ("HLA") and exclusively provides private placements of securities to its affiliated entities. The Company received approval from the regulatory authorities in March 2016.

#### 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

#### a) Basis of Presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").

#### b) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company considers money market funds and all investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025. The Company has significant cash balances at one financial institution which throughout the year regularly exceeds the federally insured limit of \$250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

#### c) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

The Company solicits prospective investors to the affiliated funds who are managed by various investment management entities, each of which is related through common control. The investment entities compensate the Company with private placement fees for the successful solicitation of investors at a rate equal to 105% of related costs incurred. The Company recognizes placement fees over time when the associated expenses are incurred.

There was a receivable balance from an affiliate of \$27,298 and \$182,350 at April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

Contract assets arise when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to the Company's unconditional right to receive payment under a contract with a customer (i.e., unbilled receivable) and are derecognized when it becomes a receivable or the cash is received. There are no contract assets as of April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025.

Contract liabilities arise when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of the Company satisfying its performance obligations under the contact and are derecognized when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied. There are no contract liabilities as of April 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025.

#### d) Income Taxes

The Company is a limited liability company and is not a taxpaying entity for federal or state income tax purposes. Income of the Company is taxed to the member in its respective return. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included in these financial statements.

{10}------------------------------------------------

#### Hamilton Lane Securities LLC Notes to Financial Statements For the year ended March 31, 2025

#### 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

#### d) Income Taxes (Continued)

Management is responsible for evaluating the Company's uncertain tax positions in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 740, Income Taxes . The Company has evaluated its tax positions taken for all open tax years and has not identified any uncertain tax positions which would require disclosure in these financial statements as of March 31, 2025. The Company commenced operations in 2016, and its tax returns for the years ending March 2022, March 2023 and March 2024 remain subject to examination by the taxing authorities.

There was no interest or penalties recognized in the Statement of Operations for the year ended March 31, 2025.

#### e) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and 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.

#### f) Segment Reporting

The Company follows ASC 280, Segment Reporting (including adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2023-07), which requires companies to disclose segment data based on how management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and evaluating performance.

The Company conducts its business activities and reports financial results as a single reportable brokerage services segment. Using the management approach, and quantitative criteria established by ASC 280, the Company has determined it has a single reportable segment. The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance in a manner consistent with the way the Company operates its business and presents its financial results, using net income that is also reported on the Statement of Operations as net income. There are no reconciling items to the Statement of Operations. The measurement of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets. The CODM uses net income to evaluate income generated from segment assets (return on assets) in deciding whether to reinvest profits into the brokerage services segment or into other parts of the entity, such as to pay distributions to the parent. The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The nature of business and accounting policies of the brokerage services segment are the same as described in the organization and nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies.

#### 3. Related Party Transactions

For the year ended March 31, 2025, the fees earned from HLA were \$8,434,136 as reported on the Statement of Operations as private placement fees. Under the agreement, all fees paid to HLA by the Company under the agreement and all amounts paid by HLA on behalf of the Company are subject to a 5% surcharge. For the year ended March 31, 2025, the fees paid to HLA for office space and overhead are included in administrative fees on the Statement of Operations and comprise the entire amount.

The amount due from related parties for the year ended March 31, 2025 was \$182,350.

HLA provides for certain expenses under the Expense Sharing Agreement (see Note 5). The Company also earns all private placement fees from HLA. Therefore, the Companying financial statements may not be representative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if the Company had been operated as an unaffiliated entity.

#### 4. Significant Customer

100% of gross revenues were derived from one customer, an affiliate.

# REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Member and Management of Hamilton Lane Securities LLC:

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Rule 15c3-3 Exemption Report pursuant to SEC Rule 17a-5, in which Hamilton Lane Securities LLC (the "Company") stated the following:

- (1) The Company does 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. § 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to providing private placements of securities to its affiliated entities, and because the Company (1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise or securities for or to customers, (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

The Company's management is responsible for compliance with the provisions contemplated by footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions 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 the Company's compliance with the statements referred to above. 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 on the provisions contemplated by footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions.
