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

To the Stockholder of FT Global Capital , Inc.

#### Opinion on the Financial Statement

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of FT Global Capital, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the aforementioned financial statement 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement to 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.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2005.

Notes to Statement of Financial Condition December 31 , 2022

#### **Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

Organization and Description of Business: FT Global Capital , Inc. (the "Company"), was organized in May 2006 and became a broker-dealer in January 2007. The Company is a securities broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is headquartered in Florida.

Cash: The Company maintains its bank accounts in a high credit quality financial institution. Balances at times may exceed federally insured limits.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided by use of straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When items of property or equipment are sold or retired , the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations.

Income Taxes: The Company has elected S corporation status for income tax reporting purposes. As a result, income or losses of the Company flow through to the stockholder and no income taxes are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition.

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC 740-10, the Company is required to evaluate each of its tax positions to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective position. A tax position includes an entity's status, including its status as a pass-through entity, and the decision not to file a return. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that no provision or liability for income taxes is necessary.

Estimates: Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing the Statement of Financial Condition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing the Statement of Financial Condition.

Accounts Receivable: Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing uncollateralized obligations receivable in accordance with the terms agreed upon with each customer. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable for any uncollectible amounts. The review for uncollectible amounts is based on an analysis of the Company's collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Based on management's review of accounts receivable, no allowance for credit losses is considered to be necessary.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue from contracts with customers includes placement and advisory services and reimbursed expenses. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified ; when to recognize revenue based on appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

Notes to Statement of Financial Condition December 31 , 2022

#### **Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

#### Revenue Recognition (continued):

The Company provides placement and advisory services related to capital raising activities and mergers and acquisitions transactions. Revenue from advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the agreement is completed (the closing date of transaction) or the contract is cancelled. However, for certain contracts, revenue is recognized over time for advisory arrangements in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. In some circumstances, significant judgement is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract. If a promised good or service is not distinct, the Company combines that good or service with other promised goods or services until it identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct. In some cases, this would result in the Company accounting for all the services promised in a contract as a single performance obligation and, if unfulfilled, amounts received from such contracts would be reflected as deferred revenue on the accompanying statement of financial condition. Retainers received from engagements in which performance obligations were not satisfied prior to the end of 2022 amounted to **\$133,300.** 

The Company recognizes success fee revenue from placement and advisory services upon completion of a success fee-based transaction as this satisfies the only performance obligation identified by the Company.

The Company recognizes reimbursed expense revenues from investment banking engagements upon completion of a success fee-based transaction or formal termination of an engagement. Expenses associated with investment banking engagements, which are explicitly reimbursable by the customer, are deferred and recorded as contract assets in the Statement of Financial Condition until the transaction is completed or the engagement is formally terminated. Payments received from customers for reimbursed expenses which are received prior to the close of the transaction or formal termination of the engagement are deferred and recorded as a contract liability in the Statement of Financial Condition. As of December 31 , 2022, the Company had no contract assets or contract liabilities related to reimbursable expenses.

Date of Management's Review: Subsequent events were evaluated through the date the Statement of Financial Condition were issued.

Notes to Statement of Financial Condition December 31, 2022

#### **Note 4 - Lease Commitment**

The Company leases office space under non-cancelable operating leases with initial non-cancelable terms in excess of one year. The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases. The Company recognizes the lease liability and a right of use asset (ROU) on its balance sheet by measuring the lease liability based on the present value of its future lease payments. The Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on what it would approximately have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms and in a similar economic environment. The ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the amount of the remeasured lease liability (present value of the remaining lease payments). The Company recognizes lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Maturity of the noncancelable office operating leases is as follows:

| Year Ending December 31, |  |
|--------------------------|--|
|--------------------------|--|

| 2023                                                                      |    | 53,955 |                  |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|----|--------|------------------|
| 2024                                                                      |    | 11,325 |                  |
| Total                                                                     | \$ | 65,280 |                  |
| Total undiscounted lease payments                                         |    |        | \$<br>65,280     |
| Less imputed interest                                                     |    |        | 1,956            |
| Total lease liability                                                     |    |        | \$<br>63,324     |
| Weighted average remaining lease term:<br>Weighted average discount rate: |    |        | 1.14 years<br>5% |

The Company's office space leases require it to make variable payments for the Company's proportionate share of operating expenses (i.e., building's property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance). These variable lease payments are not included in lease payments used to determine the lease liability and are recognized as variable costs when incurred.

The Company has elected for all underlying classes of assets to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short term leases that have an initial lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes lease costs associated with short term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

#### **Note 5 - Related Party Transactions**

The Company shares office space with a sister company pursuant to a sublease agreement of its office premises. The due from related party in the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition arises from this agreement.

The Company's stockholder has extended informal loans to the Company in the amount of \$112,010 as of December 31 , 2022. The loans are payable on demand, do not bear interest and are included in due to stockholder within the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition.

The Company at times receives securities from placement and advisory contracts with the Company's customers that the Company simultaneously sells to its stockholder upon receipt at no gain or loss to the Company. The amount received by the Company from the sale of such securities to its stockholder during 2022 was equal to approximately \$83,300.

Financial condition and results of operations might differ from the amounts in the accompanying Statement of Financial Condition if these related party transactions did not exist.

#### **Note 6 - Retirement Plans**

The Company has a cash balance retirement plan which was adopted in January 2018. Effective December 31 , 2022, the Company has terminated its cash balance plan. All benefits that have accrued under the plan as of the termination date are fully vested and nonforfeitable. Any funds remaining after the satisfaction of all plan liabilities are to be remitted to the plan's participant. The plan's participant will have the option to receive a lump-sum payment or to rollover the participant's benefits to an individual retirement account. The sole participant in the plan is the Company's stockholder.

The plan's funded status at December 31 , 2022 is as follows:

| Assets at fair value | \$<br>962,510 |
|----------------------|---------------|
| Vested benefit       | (911 ,729)    |
| Funding excess       | \$<br>50,781  |

The fair value of plan assets includes \$489,396 of employer contributions to the cash balance retirement plan in 2022.

The unit credit funding method was used as prescribed by the Pension Protection Act. This method sets the funding target equal to the present value of accrued benefits and sets the normal cost equal to the present value of the benefit accrued in the current year. The cash balance projected interest crediting rate is 5%.

The plan expects to remit all assets in the plan to its sole participant within the next fiscal year.

The Company has also adopted a 401 K plan.

#### **Note 7** - **Fair Value**

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 principle market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principle 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: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability developed using estimates and assumptions which reflect those that market participants would use. (The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.)

The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for the retirement plan assets measured at fair value as of December 31 , 2022.

|                                              | Fair Value<br>Measurements<br>12/31/2022 |    | Level 1<br>Valuation      |    | Level 2<br>Valuation |    | Level 3<br>Valuation |  |

To Whom it May Concern:

We, as members of management of FT Global Capital, Inc. (the "Company ") are responsible for complying with Rule 17a-5, "Reports to be made by certain brokers and dealers". We have performed an evaluation of the Company's compliance with the requirements of Rule 17a-5 and the exemption provisions in Rule 15c3-3(k) (the "exemption provisions ") and of the 2013 Release adopting amendments to Rule 17a-5, including Footnote 74 of the 2013 Release.

We have determined that the Company does not meet any of the exemption conditions of paragraph (k) of Rule 15c3-3 (i.e., paragraph (k)(l), (k)(2)(i) or (k)(2)(ii)) but also (1) does not directly or indirectly receive, hold or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b)(2) of Exchange Act Rule 15c2-4 ("Rule 15c2-4"); (2) does not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) does not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) and therefore is covered by Footnote 74 of the 2013 Release.

Accordingly, based on our evaluation we make the following statements to the best knowledge and belief of the Company:

- 1. We reviewed the provisions of Rule §15c3-3 and related guidance stated in the SEC Staff's FAQ and confirmed that the Company relied on Footnote 74 of the 2013 Release.
- 2. The Company conducted business activities involving placement and advisory services related to capital raising activities and merger and acquisition transactions throughout the year ended December 31, 2022 without exception.
- 3. The Company met the identified conditions for such reliance throughout the period January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 without exception.

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

To the Stockholder of FT Global Capital, Inc.

We have reviewed management's statements included in the accompanyi ng Broker Dealers Annual Exemption Report in wh ich ( 1) FT Global Capital, Inc. did not claim an exemption from Rule 15c3-3 in reliance upon Footnote 74 of the 2013 Release, and (2) FT Global Capital, [nc. stated that FT Global Capital, Inc. met the identified conditions for such reliance throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. FT Global Capital, lnc. 's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

Our 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 FT Global Capital, Jnc.

Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are 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 the provisions set forth in Footnote 74 of the 2013 Release
