### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To: The Member Cadman Securities, LLC
## Opinion on the Financial Statements
I have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Cadman Securities, LLC as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of operations, changes in member equity and cash flows for the year then ended, that are filed pursuant to Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cadman Securities, LLC as of December 31, 2023 and its results of 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 Cadman Securities, LLC's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on Cadman Securities, LLC's financial statements based on my audit. I am a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and I am required to be independent with respect to Cadman Securities, 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.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that I 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. My 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. My 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
# Supplemental Information
The Schedule I, Computation of Net Capital Under SEC Rule 15c3-1, Schedule II, Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements Under SEC Rule 15c3-3 (exemption) has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Cadman Securities, LLC's financial statements.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The supplemental information is the responsibility of Cadman Securities, LLC's management. My 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 my opinion on the supplemental information, I evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R. \$240.17a-5. In my opinion, the Schedule I, Computation of Net Capital Under SEC Rule 15c3-1, Schedule II Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements Under SEC Rule 15c3-3 (exemption), is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

### Cadman Securities, LLC Notes To Financial Statements
December 31, 2023
#### 1 Organization and Nature of Business
Cadman Securities, LLC (the Company) is a broker dealer registered with the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority - FINRA and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation - SIPC. The Company was founded in August 2003 under the laws of the State of New York. The Company provides private placements of securities pursuant to Rule 506(b) exemption under regulation D. The Company's activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the risk and uncertainty that planned operations do not materialize as planned.
The Company holds no customer funds or securities and does not participate in the underwriting of Securities.
#### 2 Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Presentation
The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") unless otherwise disclosed.
# (b) 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
# ( c) 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, that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business. The company has adopted the indirect method of presenting the statement of cash flows in accordance with current authoritative pronouncements. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2023. Cash is held at a financial institutions and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
(d) Revenue Recognition
Revenue (if any) is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606 as services are render and the contracts identified performance obligations have been satisfied. There were no unsatisfied performance obligations at December 31, 2023 as the was no earned revenue recorded.
{10}------------------------------------------------
# Cadman Securities, LLC Notes To Financial Statements December 31, 2023
# (e) Income Taxes
The Company is treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. As a result, the Company is subject to federal, state and local income taxes on its taxable income. The Company's tax returns and the amount of income or loss allocable to the member are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. In the event of an examination of the Company's tax return, the tax liability of the member could be changed if an adjustment in the Company's income or loss is ultimately determined by the taxing authorities.
Certain transactions may be subject to accounting methods for federal and state income tax purposes which differ from the accounting methods used in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, the net income or loss of the member and the resulting balances in the members' capital account reported for federal and state income tax purposes may differ from the balances reported for those same items in these financial statements.
The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with ASC Topic 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 the financial reporting period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change.
Management has determined that the Company has no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition at December 31, 2023. This determination will always be subject to ongoing evaluation as facts and circumstances may require. The Company remains subject to U.S. federal and state income tax audits for all years subsequent to 2019.
In addition, no income tax related penalties or interest have been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(f) Advertising and Marketing
Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.
(g) General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred.
{11}------------------------------------------------
# (h) Fair Value Hierarchy
FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. 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. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by FASB ASC 820, are used to measure fair value.
The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
- Level 1. Ouoted prices (unadiusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
- Level 2. Inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability either directly or indirectly.
- Level 3. Inputs are unobservable for the assets or liability.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining the fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
For further discussion of fair value, see "Note 6 Fair Value"
#### 3 Net Capital Requirements
The Company, as a registered broker-dealer in securities is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1). The Company has elected to operate under that portion of the Rule which requires the Company maintain "net capital" equal to the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, as those terms are defined in the Rule. At December 31, 2023, the Company had net capital of \$18,932, which was \$13,932 in excess of its required minimum net capital of \$5,000. The Company had an AI/NC ratio of 0.0000 to 1.
Advances to affiliates, contributions, distributions and other withdrawals are subject to certain notification and other requirements of Rule 15c3-1 and other regulatory rules. The Company does not claim exemption from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company relies on Footnote 74 of SEC Release 34-70073.
{12}------------------------------------------------
# Cadman Securities, LLC Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2023

## 5

The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023 there were no cash balances held in any accounts that were not fully insured.
#### Fair Value 6
Cash, receivables (if any), accounts payable and other current liabilities (if any) are reflected in the financial statements at carrying value which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
#### Commitments and Contingencies 7
Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-1(e)(2) the Company may not authorize distributions to its members if such distributions cause the Company's net capital to fall below 120% of the Company's minimum net capital requirement. As of December 31, 2023 the Company was not in violation of this requirement.
The Company had no lease or equipment rental commitments (other than as disclosed in Note 4 above), no underwriting commitments, no contingent liabilities, and had not been named as a defendant in any lawsuit at December 31, 2023 or during the year then ended.
#### 8 Anti-Money Laundering Policies and Procedures
The Company is required to implement policies and procedures relating to anti-money laundering, compliance, suspicious activities, and currency transaction reporting and due diligence on customers who open accounts with the Company. At December 31, 2023 the Company had implemented such policies and procedures.
{13}------------------------------------------------
Cadman Securities, LLC Notes To Financial Statements December 31, 2023
#### 9 Exemption from Rule 15c3-3

### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
# To: The Member Cadman Securities, LLC
I have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Rule 15c3-3 Exemption Statement, in which (1) Cadman Securities, LLC (the "Company") stated that the Company does not hold customers' cash or securities on behalf of customers and limits its business to activities to private placement of securities, therefore has no obligations under Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 pursuant to Footnote 74 of SEC Release 34-70073. In addition, as a result of the Company's having no obligations under SEC Rule 15c3-3, it may file an Exemption Report and (2) the Company stated that it had no exceptions under SEC Rule 15c3-3 throughout the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company did not directly receive, hold or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, did not carry accounts of or for customers, and did not carry PAB accounts as defined in Rule 15c3-3. Management is responsible for compliance with 17 C.F.R. § 240. 15c3-3 and its statements. My review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about the Company's compliance with 17 C.F.R. § 240. 15c3-3. 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, I do not express such an opinion. Based on my review, I am 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 Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

### Cadman Securities, LLC Two Sandwedge Lane Isle of Palms, SC 10075
### STATEMENT OF EXEMPTION FROM SEC RULE 15c3-3
### For the Year Ended December 31, 2023
Cadman Securities, LLC (the "Company") is a registered broker-dealer subject to Rule 17a-5 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5, "Reports to be made by certain brokers and dealers"). This Exemption Report was prepared as required by 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5(d)(1) and (4). To the best of its knowledge and belief, the Company states the following:
- (1) The Company does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. § 240. 15c3-3, and
- (2) The Company is filing this Exemption Report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to (1) private placement of securities where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company; and the Company does not hold customers' cash or securities on behalf of customers, and, therefore has no obligations under SEC Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Further, the Company did not directly or indirectly receive, hold or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, did not carry accounts of or for customers, and did not carry PAB accounts as defined in Rule 15c3-3. In addition, as a result of the Company having no obligations under SEC Rule 15c3-3, it may file an Exemption Report. The Company had no exceptions under SEC Rule 15c3-3 throughout the year ended December 31, 2023.
