### NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION (continued)

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

## **Note 1** - **Organization and nature of business:**

Reva Capital Markets, LLC (the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Reva Capital Holdings, LLC (the "Parenf'), commenced operations as a broker-dealer on December 14, 2000. As such, the Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority C'FINRA"). The Company is registered in twenty-three states.

The Company's operations consist primarily of engaging in transactions involving private placements of securities exempt from registration. In addition, the Company also provides pricing, valuation and consulting, in connection with the purchase and sale of asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

The Company also acts a U.S. registered broker-dealer intermediary pursuant to SEA 15a-6 with respect to private placements. As a chaperone for a foreign broker-dealer, the offerings are substantially similar to those conducted directly by the Firm in its present business. The Company's involvement as a chaperone for a foreign brokerdealer has had minimal impact on the Company's current infrastructure and procedures as the business line is both consistent and complementary to Reva's current business activities and had minimal impact on the business in 2024

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the separate records maintained by the Company and due to certain transactions and agreements with affiliated entities, may not necessarily be indicative of the financial condition that would have existed or the results that would have been obtained from operations had the Company operated as an unaffiliated entity.

The Company's policy is to continuously monitor its exposure to market and counterparty risk through the use of a variety of financial position and credit exposure reporting and control procedures. In addition, the Company has a policy of reviewing the credit standing of each broker-dealer, clearing organization, customer and/or other counterparty with which it conducts business.

#### **Revenue recognition:**

The Company recognizes fee income as earned. Fee income is earned at the time the related services are provided and when the right to receive payment is assured, as defined by the terms and conditions of each client agreement. The Firm records revenue in accordance with the five (5) steps under ASC Topic 6. The steps are as follows:

- 1 )Identify the contract
- 2) Identify the performance obligations of the contract
- 3) Determine the transaction price
- 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
- 5) Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company receives fees for the introduction of buyers and sellers in equity transactions pursuant to a contract. Revenue is recognized at the point in time that the performance obligation is complete (as set forth under the terms of the agreement). In some circumstances, significant judgement is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the promised services to the customers. A service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the service.

Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring the Company's progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the services to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those promised services (i.e., the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration, if any.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted FASB ASC 326 - "Financial Instruments -Credit Losses" ("ASC Topic 326") which replaces the incurred loss methodology with the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology. The Company's policy is to record an estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance for credit losses. The new CECL standard became effective on January 1, 2020, and had no impact on the Company as of that date.

#### **lncome·taxes:**

The Company is a single-member limited liability company and, as such, is treated as a disregarded entity and is not subject to income taxes.

FASB provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained "when challenged" or "when examined" by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense and liability in the current year. For the year ended December 31, 2021, management has determined that there are no material uncertain income tax positions.

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12 (Topic 740) which incorporated ASC 740-10-30-27A to clarify that legal entities that are not subject to tax such as certain partnerships and disregarded single member limited liability companies are not required to include, in their separate financial statements, allocated amounts of consolidated current and deferred taxes. The adoption of the ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

#### **Use of estimates:**

The Company maintains its books and records on an accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

#### **Recent accounting pronouncements**

FASB ASU 2023-07. Segment Reporting {Topic 280}: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures:

The FASB issued ASU 2023-07 on November 27, 2023, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements. Under previous guidance, while entities were required to disclose segment revenue and measure of profit or loss, there has been limited disclosure around the reporting of segment expenses. In addition to enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure

requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable investors to better understand an entity's overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has adopted the requirements of the expanded segment disclosures as of December 31, 2024.

The Statement of Operations includes the rent expense of \$29,840 of which \$28,973 was paid in cash to the service provider and other operating expenses and rent of \$12,360 was recorded as capital contributions by the Parent.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$12,965, which exceeded the minimum requirement of \$5,000 by \$7,965. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 1.9627 to 1.

## NOTES TO STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL CONDITION (continued)

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024

the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels: Level 1 inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and have the highest priority, while level 3 inputs have the lowest priority. The Company uses the appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair value of the investments. When available, the Company measures fair value using Level 1 inputs because they generally provide the most reliable evidence of fair value.

The following presents the Company's December 31, 2024, assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.

|                  | Level 1 | Level2 | Level3 | Total   |
|------------------|---------|--------|--------|---------|
| Securities owned | \$4,994 | \$ --  | \$--   | \$4,994 |

The securities owned represents common stock.

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a broker-dealer. which is comprised of several classes of services, including:

- a. engage in transactions involving private placements of securities exempt from registration;
- b. provide pricing, valuation, and consulting, in connection with the purchase and sale of asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities; and
- c. act as a U.S. registered broker-dealer intermediary pursuant to SEA Rule 15a-6 with respect to private placements.

The Company has identified its CEO as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM uses measures to evaluate performance - the CODM uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, predominantly in the forecasting process, to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 5), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or pay dividends/distribute its profits. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable SE;)gment, because the CODM manages the
