Melvin Goldberg CPA #### **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM** To the Members of Seabury Securities LLC #### Opinion on **the Financial Statements** We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Seabury Securities LLC (the "Company") (a Delaware limited liability company}, as of December 31, 2019 and the related statement of operations, changes in members' equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements and supplemental information. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Seabury Securities LLC as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### **Basis** for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company'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 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 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. #### **Auditors' Report on Supplemental Information** The supplemental information, the Computation of Net Capital under Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and information Relating to Possession and Control Requirements under SEC Rule 15c3-3 as contained on pages 10 to 12, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental 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 supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5. In our opinion, the supplemental information, the Computation of Net Capital under Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and information Relating to Possession and Control Requirements under SEC Rule 15c3-3, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

175,331 | {6}------------------------------------------------ # Note 1 - Business Summary Seabury Securities LLC (the "Company") is a registered broker/dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company does not clear securities transactions or carry customers' accounts on a fully disclosed basis. Accordingly, the Company operates under the provisions of Paragraph (k)(2)(i) of Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and is exempt from the remaining provisions of that rule. The Company provides financial advisory and investment banking services to aviation and related industries as well as small and medium-size corporations. Services consist of secured asset-based financings, private and public debt/equity offerings and placements, corporate finance and merger and acquisition advisory services. # Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies # Statement of Cash Flows For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and bank money market accounts with banks or financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less. # Accrual Basis of Accounting The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company's year-end is December 31 . #### Recent accounting pronouncements In February 2016, the FASS issued (ASU) 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)". This update includes a lease accounting model that recognizes two types of leases - finance leases and operating leases. The standard requires that a lessee recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities relating to leases with terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease, and is effective for the Company beginning in January 2019. The Company does not have any direct leases, and any expenses related to leases is through the expense sharing agreement with the Parent. {7}------------------------------------------------ ### Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ### Income Taxes The Company is a Limited Liability Company. Therefore, no provisions for federal or state taxes are made by the Company. Members of a Limited Liability Company are individually taxes on their pro-rata share of the Company's earnings. The Company is liable for taxes in several states and New York City. Total tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 is approximately \$1 ,218. ## 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 and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. ### Note 3 - Regulatory Requirements ### Net Capital Requirements The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission basic Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. Net capital and the related net capital ratio may fluctuate on a daily basis. At December 31 , 2019 the Company had net capital of \$94,751 , which was \$89,751 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital at December 31 , 2019 was 78.01%. # Exemption from Rule 15c3-3 The Company is exempt from SEC Rule 15c3-3 pursuant to the exemption provision of such paragraph (k)(2)(i) and, therefore, is not required to maintain a "Special Reserve Bank Account for the Exclusive Benefit of customers." {8}------------------------------------------------ # Note 4 - Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains cash in bank accounts which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any loss in this account and believes it is not subject to any significant credit risk. #### Note 5 - Related Party Transactions Pursuant to a service agreement, the Company's affiliate provides various services and other operating assistance to the Company. These include professional fees, use of fixed assets, travel, insurance, subscriptions, taxes, personnel, benefits and other general and administrative services. The total amount of intercompany charges incurred by the Company was approximately \$317,767. Approximately \$54,630 was due by the Company to the affiliate related to the service agreement as of December 31 , 2019. #### Note 6 - Member's Equity During the year 2019, the Company dividend to the Parent \$700,000. Also during the year 2019 the Parent dividend \$476,000 to the Company in the forms or cash infusions and forgiveness. #### Note 7 - Fair Value Effective January 1, 2008, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820 had no effect on the Company's financial statements. ASC 820 accomplished the following key objectives: Defines fair value as 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; Establishes a three-level hierarchy (the "Valuation Hierarchy") for fair value Measurements; Requires consideration of the Company's creditworthiness when valuing liabilities; and Expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value. {9}------------------------------------------------ The Valuation Hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument's categorization within the Valuation Hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the Valuation Hierarchy and the distribution of the Company's financial assets within it are as follows: Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets of liabilities in active markets. Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology included quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset of liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3- inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the balance sheet, which approximates fair value due to their short-term, highly liquid nature. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, account receivable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and deferred revenue. ### Note 8 - Subsequent Events These financial statements were approved by management and available for issuance on February 28, 2020. Subsequent events have been evaluated through that date. # Note 9 - Uncertain Tax Positions The Company's federal, state, and local tax returns are subject to possible examination by the taxing authorities until expiration of the related statutes of limitations on those tax returns. In general, the federal and state income tax returns have a three-year statute of limitations. The Company would recognize accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of the income tax provision.
