In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the rasults of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, in corflormity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("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 statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material missiatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.

### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

### DECEMBER 31, 2022

### NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

### Organization

Keel Point Capital, LLC (the "Company"), is a Delaware limited liability company. The Company was formed for the purpose of conducting business as a brokerdealer in securities. The Company is a member of and is subject to regulations by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Keel Point Partners, LLC ("Keel Point Partners") and is registered with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company is exempt from the provisions of SEC Rule 15c3-3 under paragraph (k)(2)(ii).

### Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash and cash equivalents.

At times, the Company maintains cash in bank deposits that, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company did not experience any losses and does not anticipate any losses associated with these accounts.

### Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL)

The Company accounts for estimated credit losses on financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures in accordance with FASB ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. FASB ASC 326-20 requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the life of its financial assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company records the estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance for credit losses. For financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis the allowance for credit losses is reported as a valuation account on the balance sheet that adjusts the asset's amortized cost basis. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported in Credit Loss expense.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost basis that are not eligible for the collateral maintenance practical expedient. For financial assets measured at amortized cost basis that are not eligible for the collateral maintenance practical expedient (and any unsecured amounts for instruments applying the practical expedient), the Company estimates expected credit losses over the life of the financial assets as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

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

### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

### NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

### Accounts Receivable

During the year, the Company recognized commissions for certain variable annuities, 401 (k) and 529 plans. The Company's management has not experienced issues collecting any of these commissions and believes the remainder is collectable, thus no allowance has been recorded.

### Deposits Held by Clearing Brokers

Under the terms of the Clearing Agreement with National Financial Services, LLC ("NFS"}, the Company is required to maintain a certain level of cash on deposit with NFS which amounted to \$50,000 at December 31, 2022. Should NFS suffer a loss due to a failure of the Company's customer to complete a transaction, the Company is required to indemnify NFS to the extent of such loss. As of December 31, 2022, there were no amounts owed to the clearing broker nor did the company incur a loss during the year ended December 31, 2022 due to a customer's failure to complete a transaction.

### 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

### Income Taxes

The Company is a single member limited liability company and reports on a consolidated basis with its parent company as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. The Company's taxable income or loss is therefore passed through to the parent company members and reported on their respective tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in these financial statements.

The Company did not have unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022 and does not expect this to change significantly over the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense in accordance with ASC 740-10-25. The Company files consolidated income tax returns with Keel Point Partners, LLC. As of December 31, 2022 the federal and state tax years subject to examination generally include all years from 2018 and beyond. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has not accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

### NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

### Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for all financial assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 820-10, "Fair Value Measurements." ASC 820-10 provides standards and disclosures for assets and liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value. As defined in ASC 820-10, 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 (exit price). ASC 820-10 requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The statement requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2: Measured based upon inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the asset or liability other than quoted market prices included in Level 1. These inputs include: a) quoted prices for similar asset or liabilities in active markets b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active c) inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable and d) inputs that are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Measured based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability for which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. This input includes management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which might include management's own data.

As required by ASC 820-10, financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The Company has no assets or liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value as of December 31, 2022.

Certain financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on the statement of financial condition are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to their shortterm nature and generally negligible risk. These instruments include cash,

### NOTE 2: RECOGNITION OF REVENUES

Receivable from clearing broker, deposits with clearing broker, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and intercompany payable (all Level 1 ).

### Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenues are analyzed to determine whether the Company is the principal (i.e., reports revenues on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., reports revenues on a net basis) in the contract. Principal or agent designations depend primarily on the control an entity has over the product or service before control is transferred to a customer. The indicators of which party exercises control include primary responsibility over performance obligations, inventory risk before the good or service is transferred and discretion in establishing the price.

### Commission Revenue

Commission revenue represents sales commissions generated by advisors for their clients' purchases and sales of securities on exchanges and over-the-counter, as well as purchases of other investment products. The Company views the selling, distribution and marketing, or any combination thereof, of investment products to such clients as a single performance obligation to the product sponsors.

The Company is the principal for commission revenue, as it is responsible for the execution of the clients' purchases and sales and maintains relationships with the product sponsors. Advisors assist the Company in performing its obligations. Accordingly, total commission revenues are reported on a gross basis.

The following table presents our total commission revenue disaggregated by investment product category:

### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

### NOTE 2: RECOGNITION OF REVENUES (Continued)

The Company generates two types of commission revenue: sales-based commission revenue that is recognized at the point of sale on the trade date and trailing commission revenue that is recognized over time as the performance obligation is satisfied. Sales-based commission revenue varies by investment product and is based on a percentage of an investment product's current market value at the time of purchase. Trailing commission revenue is generally based on a percentage of the current market value of clients' investment holdings in trail-eligible assets, and is recognized over the period during which services, such as on-going support, are performed. As trailing commission revenue is based on the market value of clients' investment holdings, this variable consideration is constrained until the market value is determinable.

### NOTE 3: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company serves as a securities broker for an affiliated company, Keel Point, LLC, an investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company relies on Keel Point, LLC's client relationships in order to generate substantially all of its business. The Company performs brokerage services at no charge for Keel Point, LLC's managed portfolios. The Company retains all fees and commissions for Keel Point, LLC's unmanaged securities portfolios and mutual funds.

The Company shares office rent, salaries and certain other expenses with Keel Point, LLC. Such expenses are allocated on an historic ratio of revenues of each company. Total expenses allocated to the Company from Keel Point, LLC aggregated approximately \$258,125. Of the total allocated expenses, \$240,987 is related to shared salaries and benefits and the remaining \$17,138 is related to shared office expenses. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has an outstanding payable amount due to Keel Point, LLC in the amount of \$121,614.

Additionally, the Company paid privilege taxes on behalf of Keel Point Partners during the year and has an outstanding receivable due from Keel Point Partners in the amount of \$8,300 as of December 31, 2022.

### NOTE 4: NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC rule 15c3-1 }, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital of \$50,000 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, as defined, of \$1,599,483, which was \$1,549,483 in excess of the required net capital of \$50,000.

{14}------------------------------------------------

### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

### NOTE 5: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company executes securities and futures transactions on behalf of its customers. If either the customer or the counterparty fails to perform, the Company may be required to discharge the obligation of the nonperforming party. In such circumstances, the Company may sustain a loss if the market value of the security or futures contract is different from the contract value of the transaction. The Company does not expect nonperformance by customers or counterparties.

The Company clears all of its securities transactions through clearing brokers on a fully disclosed basis. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements between the Company and the clearing brokers, the clearing brokers have the right to charge the Company for losses that result from a counterparty's failure to fulfill its contractual obligations. As the right to charge the Company has no maximum amount and applies to all trades executed through the clearing broker, the Company believes there is no maximum amount assignable to this right. At December 31, 2022, the Company has no recorded liabilities with regard to the right. During 2022, the Company did not pay the clearing brokers any amounts related to these guarantees.

The Company's policy is to monitor its market exposure, customer risk, and counterparty risk through the use of a variety of credit exposure reporting and control procedures, including marking-to-market securities and any related collateral as well as requiring adjustments of collateral levels as necessary. In addition, the Company has a policy of reviewing, as considered necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty and customer with which it conducts business.
