# **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Member of Big Sky Treasury Services LLC

# **Opinion on the Financial Statement**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Big Sky Treasury Services LLC (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

# **Basis for Opinion**

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement 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 the Company 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 statement is 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 statement, 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 statement. 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 statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2025.

# Notes to Financial Statement

# **1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:**

**Nature of Business:** Big Sky Treasury Services LLC (the "Company") is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Sky Associates, LLC (the "Parent"). The Company was formed effective January 1, 2025. The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as a broker-dealer and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company received FINRA approval to commence broker-dealer operations on December 3, 2025. During 2025, the Company's activities primarily related to organizational and start-up matters, regulatory licensing, and implementation of its operating infrastructure. The Company did not generate revenue-producing broker-dealer operations during the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Basis of Accounting:** The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("F ASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").

**Risks and Uncertainties:** The Company did not have receivables from customers as of December 31, 2025. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such deposits.

**Use of Estimates:** The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents:** Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in demand deposit and interest-bearing accounts at financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents; the Company held no cash equivalents at December 31, 2025. Cash activity during the year primarily related to capital contributions, start-up expenditures, and interest earned on deposit accounts.

**Reportable Segment:** The Company follows ASU 2023-07: *Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,* which requires certain disclosures related to reportable segments. The Company has a single reportable segment based on the nature of its services and regulatory environment under which it operates. The nature of business and the accounting policies of the segment are the same as described throughout Note 1. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is its sole owner, Richard J. Berthy, who serves as Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses the reportable segment's performance and allocates resources for the reportable segment based on the net income (loss) and total assets. Total assets are the same amounts in all material respects as those reported on the Statement of Financial Condition.

Notes to Financial Statement, Continued

# **1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued**

**Income Taxes:** The Company is a single-member limited liability company and is treated as a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company's taxable income or loss is reported by the Parent on its income tax returns, and no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements.

**Income Tax Uncertainties:** The Company follows FASB guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statements. This 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 are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained "when challenged" or "when examined" by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense and liability in the current year. Management has evaluated the effect of guidance surrounding uncertain income tax positions and concluded that Company has no significant financial statement exposure to uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2025.

**Subsequent Events:** Management has evaluated subsequent events through February 9 , 2026, the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that no additional disclosures are necessary.

# **2. Related Party Transactions:**

The Company is related, through common ownership and control, to the Parent. The Company has an Expense Sharing Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Parent under which payroll costs incurred by the Parent on behalf of the Company are allocated to the Company based on an agreed-upon percentage and reimbursed to the Parent.

No amounts were due to the Parent at December 31, 2025.
