Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
September 30, 2013
| (1) | Organization and Basis of Presentation |
DB Commodity Services LLC (the Company), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on May 23, 2005, and is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG (the “owner member”) and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DB U.S. Financial Markets Holding Corporation. The Company is registered as a commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and is a member of the National Futures Association.
The Company serves as the managing owner, commodity pool operator, and commodity trading advisor to the following funds, the “DB Exchange Traded Funds”:
| • | PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund (DBC) |
| • | PowerShares DB G10 Currency Harvest Fund (DBV) |
| • | PowerShares DB Multi Sector Commodity Trust in seven separate series, or Funds: |
| – | PowerShares DB Energy Fund (DBE) |
| – | PowerShares DB Oil Fund (DBO) |
| – | PowerShares DB Precious Metals Fund (DBP) |
| – | PowerShares DB Gold Fund (DGL) |
| – | PowerShares DB Silver Fund (DBS) |
| – | PowerShares DB Base Metals Fund (DBB) |
| – | PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund (DBA) |
| • | PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Trust in two separate series, or Funds: |
| – | PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (UUP) |
| – | PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bearish Fund (UDN) |
| (2) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
| (a) | Basis of Accounting |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim period financial statements have been made. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full-year period. These financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements included in its Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012 as filed with the SEC on March 21, 2013.

| (b) | Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
In July 2013 the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11 (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. Previous to the issuance of ASU No. 2013-11, Topic 740 did not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. As such, the objective of ASU No. 2013-11 is to eliminate diversity in financial statement reporting practices. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company believes that it has no uncertain tax position and the adoption of this pronouncement would not have any impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during 2013 or 2012 have had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
| (c) | Use of Estimates |
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period of the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. There were no significant estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements.
| (d) | Due from DB Exchange Traded Funds |
Due from DB Exchange Traded Funds represents outstanding management fees for services provided to the DB Exchange Traded Funds as commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor and managing owner. The fees are recorded at the invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. Management has determined that there was no risk of unrecoverable amounts, and therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts was provided for as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
| (e) | Investment in DB Exchange Traded Funds |
The Company’s investments in the DB Exchange Traded Funds consist of capital contributions in the general shares of the Funds and are accounted for using the equity method, which approximates fair value. The Company adjusts the carrying amount of the investments to recognize the Company’s share of earnings or losses of the investment. Distributions received from the investments reduce the carrying amount of the respective investments.
| (f) | Income Taxes |
The Company is a limited liability company and did not elect to be taxable as a corporation for U.S. income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company will not incur U.S. income taxes. No provision for federal, state, and local income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements, as its owner member is liable for income taxes, if any, on the Company’s income, loss, and other items, and there is no tax sharing arrangement between the Company and its owner member. Based on the effective tax rate of the Company’s owner member, the Company’s pro rata income tax expense would be approximately $13,700,000 and $14,500,000 for the federal tax, $3,000,000 and $3,300,000 for the New York State tax, and $3,400,000 and $3,700,000 for the New York City tax for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As the Company is not required to separately file its own returns, the following is the major tax jurisdiction for the Company’s parent, DB U.S. Financial Markets Holding Corporation, and the earliest tax year subject to examination: United States – 2007.
