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

Board of Directors of CoreCap Investments, LLC Southfield, Michigan

#### **Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of CoreCap Investments, LLC, as of December 31, 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders' 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 CoreCap Investments, LLC as of December 31, 2021, 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 CoreCap Investments, LLC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on CoreCap Investments, 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 CoreCap Investments, 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 Supplementary Information**

The computations of net capital and determination of reserve requirements under rule 15c3-1 of the securities and exchange commission have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of CoreCap Investments, LLC's financial statements. The supplementary information is the responsibility of CoreCap Investments, LLC's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplementary 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 supplementary information. In forming our opinion on the supplementary information, we evaluated whether the supplementary information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R. §240.1 ?a-5. In our opinion, the computations of net capital and determination ofreserve requirements under rule 15c3-l of the securities and exchange commission are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

We have served as CoreCap Investments, LLC's auditor since 2014. Roseville, Michigan March 25, 2022

# *NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS*

## **NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION**

CoreCap Investments, LLC (the "Company" or "Core Cap") operates as an introducing brokerdealer clearing its client's transactions on a fully disclosed basis through a clearing broker-dealer. The Company was incorporated in May 2012 and registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in March 1996.

The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Core Capital Holdings, LLC.

### **NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

#### **Revenue Recognition**

Revenue is recorded when: (i) a contract with a client has been identified, (ii) the performance obligation(s) in the contract have been identified, (iii) the transaction price has been determined, (iv) the transaction price has been allocated to each performance obligation in the contract, and (v) the Company has satisfied the applicable performance obligation. The expenses that are directly related to such transactions are recorded as incurred and presented within operating expenses. Revenue associated with the reimbursement of such expenses are recorded when the Company is contractually entitled to reimbursement and presented within other income.

The Company provides transaction related services to its customers. Securities transactions and the related commission revenue and expenses are recorded on a trade date basis. Insurance commissions are recorded when earned. Revenue as disaggregated by source is presented in the accompanying statement of operations.

Accounts receivable and contract balances from contracts with customers were as follows. Accounts receivable approximated \$821,000 and \$411,000 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Contract assets were not material as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Contract liabilities approximated \$1,002,000 and \$487,000 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

#### **Management Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### **Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risks**

In the normal course of business, the Company's activities involve the execution, settlement and financing of various securities transactions. These activities may expose the Company to offbalance sheet risk in the event the other party to the transaction is unable to fulfill its contractual obligation.

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

# *NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS*

### **NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**

### **Federal Income Taxes**

During April 2020, CoreCap along with its Parent converted from an S corporation to an LLC. As an LLC, the Company is treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Consequently, Federal income taxes are not payable by, or provided for, the Company. LLC members are taxed individually on their share of taxable earnings. CoreCap's net income or loss is allocated among the members in accordance with the provisions of the Company's operating agreement.

The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. The primary objective of ASC 740 is to prescribe measurement and disclosure requirements for income tax provisions when uncertainty exists as to whether the reporting entity's tax positions would be sustained in the event of an examination. Company management believes that there are no material uncertainties in which tax positions taken would not be sustained upon examination. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for years before 20 I 8 or state income tax examinations for years before 20 I 7.

#### **Subsequent Events**

The Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through March 25, 2022 which is the same date the financial statements were available to be issued.

#### **NOTE 3 -TRANSACTIONS WITH PARENT COMPANY**

The Parent Company provides furniture and fixtures, personnel, general administrative and consulting services to the Company in connection with the Company's business. Reimbursement of these expenses is based on an itemized schedule of amounts paid.

For the year ended December 3 I, 2021 charges for services provided by CoreCap Holdings, LLC approximated \$668,000 and are included in other operating expenses in the accompanying statement of operations.

#### **NOTE 4 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1 ). Based on the provisions of this rule, the Company must maintain net capital equivalent to the greater of \$50,000 or I/15th of aggregate indebtedness, as defined.

{11}------------------------------------------------

## *NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS*

### **NOTE 4 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (Continued)**

At December 31, 2021, the Company's net capital totaled \$968,113 which was \$895,645 in excess of its required net capital of \$72,468. The ratio ofaggregate indebtedness to net capital (which may not exceed 15 to I) was 1. 12 to 1.

### **NOTE 5 - LEASE COMMITMENTS**

The Company shares office space with its Parent and other related parties subject to a lease agreement with the Parent. The Company reimburses CoreCap Holdings, LLC on a monthly basis for a portion of occupancy costs which approximated \$2,300 per month as of December 31, 2021.

For the year ended December 31, 2021 occupancy expenses for the current and former locations approximated \$27,600 and is included in occupancy costs in the accompanying statement of operations.

#### **NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES**

At December 31, 2021, the Company was subject to a pending Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation related to supervision of a former registered representative who was terminated on January 23, 2017. The Company has accrued a contingent liability of \$50,000 to cover any potential loss from the outcome of the SEC investigation.

The disposition of this matter, in the opinion of management, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

#### **NOTE** 7 - **COVID-19 CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC**

The COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have a negative impact on the Company's business, financial condition and operations. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 is still uncertain. The Company implemented certain initiatives in order to reduce the impact of the pandemic on the Company's financial condition. As the pandemic continues, the extent of impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As a result, it is not currently possible to ascertain the overall impact of COVID- 19 on the Company's business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of rule l 5c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
