# **GROWTH ENERGY CAPITAL ADVISORS, LLC, D.B.A. ENERGY CAPITAL SOLUTIONS, LLC**

### **Notes to Financial Statements**

#### 1. **ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS**

Growth Energy Capital Advisors, LLC, d.b.a. Energy Capital Solutions, LLC (the "Company") is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of various exchanges and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). The Company is a Texas limited liability company that is a whollyowned subsidiary ofLW Energy Advisors, LLC (the "Parent"). The Company is controlled by the Parent. The entities share expenses and engage in intercompany transactions (See Note 6). As an introducing broker-dealer, the Company does not hold customer funds or securities.

The Company operates under the provisions of Paragraph (k)(2)(i) of Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC and, accordingly, is exempt from the remaining provisions of that Rule. Essentially, the requirements of Paragraph (k)(2)(i) provide that the Company will not hold customer funds or safe keep customer securities. The Company does not hold customer funds or securities.

#### **2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

#### **Basis of Presentation**

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which comprises several classes of services, including investment banking, raising private capital and providing merger and acquisition advisory services to public and private energy companies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

#### **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 the 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.

#### **Revenue Recognition**

#### *Investment Banking Revenue*

Investment banking revenue includes fees from raising private capital and providing merger and acquisition advisory services to public and private energy companies. The Company is engaged by clients to provide advisory services and manage the related processes of these transactions. Advisory fee revenue and capital raising revenue are earned and paid upon successful closing of a transaction, the performance obligation.

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

#### *Investment Advisory Fees*

Investment Advisory Fees are received monthly and are recognized as performance obligations are met. Performance obligations generally include execution of the contract and certain advisory services defined in the contracts.

As a practical expedient, the Company has determined it has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company's performance completed to date. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice.

### **Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

Cash is short-term in nature and accordingly is reported in the statement of financial condition at fair value or carrying amounts that approximate fair value.

#### **Income Tax**

The Company is taxed as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, Federal income is taxed at the member level. As a result, the net taxable income of the Company and any related tax credits, for federal income tax purposes, are deemed to pass to the individual member and are included in the member's personal tax return even though such net taxable income or tax credits may not actually have been distributed. Accordingly, no tax provision has been made in the financial statements since the income tax is a personal obligation of the individual member.

The Company recognizes and measures any unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (F ASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, "Income Taxes". Under that guidance the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of each period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change. As of December 31, 2019, the Company believes there are no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

The Company is subject to state income tax. The Company files a combined state income tax return with the Parent. Any provision for state income tax represents the applicable share allocated to the Company.

#### **Statement of Cash Flows**

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company has defined cash equivalents as highly liquid investments, with original maturities of less than three months, which are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business.

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

#### **3. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company is subject to the SEC unifonn net capital rule (Rule 15c3-l), which requires the maintenance of a minimum amount of net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1 (and the rule of the "applicable" exchange also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed IO to I). At December 31 , 2019, the Company had net capital of\$370,478, which was \$365,478 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000, respectively. The Company's net capital ratio was 0.0 to 1.

Capital contributions and distributions to the members can be made under a capital policy approved by the Company's member. Periodic contributions and/or distributions approved by the member may be made in order to enable the member to effectively manage the Company.

#### 4. **CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK**

The Company's business is influenced by the U.S. and World Economy and it operates primarily within the energy industry which is dependent upon related commodity prices. The Company targets companies in the exploration and production, oil service, midstream, renewable fuels, and alternative energy sectors. This lack of diversification may cause the Company's financial results to be volatile. Further, in the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. The Company's financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality institution. At times, such cash may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. The Company believes that it is not exposed to any significant risk related to cash.

### **5. CONTINGENCIES**

In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company may be subjected to loss contingencies arising from lawsuits. Management believes that the outcome of such matters, if any, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of future operations.

#### **6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company derives its revenue from its association with the Parent. Per the Services Agreement, the Parent will provide certain management and back-office services to the Company indefinitely, unless there is dissolution of the Company or a breach of contract, in return for a discretionary monthly fee of \$16,500 plus an additional proportional allocation service fee. The Company's operating and general and administrative expenses are paid by the Parent. For the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company paid management fees to the Parent of approximately \$198,000 which is reflected in occupancy, operating and overhead expenses in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The existence of this association creates operating results and a financial position significantly different than if the companies were autonomous.

{12}------------------------------------------------

### 7. **EXEMPTION FROM RULE 15c3-3**

The Company operates under the provisions of Paragraph (k)(2)(i) of Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC and, accordingly, is exempt from the remaining provisions of that Rule. Essentially, the requirements of Paragraph (k)(2)(i) provide that the Company will not hold customer funds or safe keep customer securities. Under these exemptive provisions, the Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and the disclosure of Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements are not required.

During the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from January 1, 2020 to February 18, 2020, in the opinion of management, the Company has maintained compliance with the conditions for the exemption specified in paragraph(k)(2)(i) of Rule 15c3-3.

#### **8. LIABILITIES SUBORDINATED TO CLAIMS OF GENERAL CREDITORS**

During the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no subordinated liabilities to the claims of general creditors. Accordingly, a statement of changes in liabilities subordinated to claims of general creditors has not been included in these financial statements.

### **9. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS**

Other accounting standards that have been recently issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

#### **10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

The Company has performed an evaluation of events that have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2019, and through February I 8, 2020, the date of the filing of this report. There have been no material subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this report or would be required to be recognized in the financial statements as of December 31, 2019.
