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

To the Members of SeaCap Securities LLC

#### **Opinion on the Financial Statement**

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of SeaCap Securities LLC (the "Company") (a Delaware limited liability company), as of December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statement. In our opinion, the statement of financial condition presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### **Basis for Opinion**

This financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement 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 statement is 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 statement, 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 statement. 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 statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Company does not carry securities accounts for customers or perform custodial functions relating to customer securities and does not claim exemption from the Customer Protection Rule but limits its business activities to those specified in Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073.

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

## Cash and Cash Equivalents

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.

## Basis of Presentation

The Company's financial statement is prepared using the accrual method of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company's year-end is December 31.

#### 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. The Company is a taxable entity in the state of California and the District of Columbia.

#### Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

{7}------------------------------------------------

#### 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, 2022 the Company had net capital of \$67,072, which was \$17,072 in excess of its required net capital of \$50,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital at December 31, 2022 was 1%.

# Exemption from Rule 15c3-3

The Company is does not claim exemption from the Customer Protection Rule but limits its business activities to those specified in Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34- 70073.

## Note 4 - Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash balances in one financial institution, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to \$250,000 per institution. 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 \$24,000.

#### Note 6 - Fair Value

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity.

{8}------------------------------------------------

## Note 6 - Fair Value (continued)

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.

FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs). In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

 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 7 - 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.

#### Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company identified fees receivable carried at amortized cost as impact by guidance, ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which replaced the incurred loss model with the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL impairment model utilizes historical information and forecasts of future economic conditions to determine expected credit losses over the contractual life of a

{9}------------------------------------------------

## Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

given instrument. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost. The Company evaluated this guidance and determined that this standard does not have an impact on the financial statements.

Contingencies include the usual obligations of a broker dealer. The Company seeks to minimize the risks associated with its activities through policies and procedures designed to monitor the investment recommendations of its licensed representatives as well as the contractual terms and conditions of its agreements with customers. While the Company has exposure to these risks in its normal course of business, there are no significant unrecorded or undisclosed commitments or contingencies as of December 31, 2022. Additionally, there are no liabilities subject to subordination, and thus, the Statement of Changes in Liabilities Subordinated to Claims of General Creditors has been omitted.

#### Note 9 - Subsequent Events

The financial statement is approved by management and available for issuance on March 31, 2023. Subsequent events have been evaluated through that date.
