#### Hatteras Capital Distributors, LLC Notes to Financial Statements

#### 1. Summary of Business Activities and Significant Accounting Policies

Hatteras Capital Distributors, LLC (the "Company" or "HCD") was organized on January 4, 2007, as a limited liability company under the laws of the state of North Carolina, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hatteras Funds, LP (the "Advisor"). The Advisor provides investment advisory services to various affiliated funds and general partnerships.

On January 5, 2016, the Company, along with the Advisor, was purchased by Raleigh Acquisition Corporation, an LLC formed by members of the Company's management to acquire the assets of the Company and Hatteras Funds from RCS Capital Corporation. The Advisor was subsequently renamed Hatteras Funds, LP.

HCD serves as the distributor for investment company products and limited partnerships. HCD operates as a limited-use broker dealer pursuant to SEC Rule I 5c3-3(k)(2)(i) and does not hold customer funds or safekeep customer securities.

#### *Basis of Presentation*

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of results.

#### *Use of Estimates*

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material.

#### *Cash and Cash Equivalents*

The Company maintains cash deposits with a financial institution. At times, these balances may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). The Company did not have cash balances as of December 31, 2019 that were in excess of the FDIC insured limits. There were no restrictions placed on the Company's cash deposits at December 31, 2019, nor at any point during the twelve-months ended December 31, 2019. The Company defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as highly liquid instruments with original maturities of less than 90 days.

#### *Service Fees Receivable and Due from Affiliates*

The Company records service fee receivables by providing services to various funds managed and advised by Hatteras Funds. As provided in the fund servicing agreements, the Company will assist with investor communications, maintenance of fund records, and provide various other services related to the funds' operations: The Company records service fees receivable when fees have been earned but not yet paid on services provided to unrelated parties. The Company also provides services to Hatteras Funds under terms of a written agreement between the Company and Hatteras Funds. The Company records fees receivable from Hatteras Funds when earned but not yet paid as Due from Affiliate in the Company's financial statements. When applicable, amounts owed for services provided by Hatteras Funds and service fees to be received from Hatteras Funds are presented net in the Company's Statement of Financial Position. At December 3 1, 2019, \$177,481 was due from Hatteras Funds.

#### *Revenue Recognition*

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, "ASC 606"), which creates a single framework for

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

recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope. Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over goods or service to a customer. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include, Fund Servicing Agreements and a 12b-l Plan.

Refer to Revenue Recognition Note: Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further discussion on the Company's accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.

#### *Revenue from Contracts with Customers:*

#### *Fund Servicing Agreements:*

The Company recognizes revenue generally when it is earned and realized or realizable, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company earns service fees by providing fund services to the various Hatteras Funds (the "Funds") through Fund Servicing Agreements. Service fees are calculated monthly or quarterly, as applicable, as a percentage of the aggregate net assets of the Funds, which is reported by each fund's administrator.

#### *12(b)-l Plan:*

The Company is the distributor for certain affiliated funds which maintain a 12(b)-1 Plan. The Company has engaged Quasar, a division of US Bank Fund Services, as sub-distributor to administer the 12(b)-1 Plan. The Company maintains an account at the various funds which offer shares under the 12(b )-1 Plan, which are used to pay expenses related to the marketing and selling of fund shares, such as compensating brokers and others who sell fund shares, and paying for advertising, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to new investors, and the printing and mailing of sales literature. The Company recognizes revenue as earned from the assets under management in the share classes under the plan and expenses under the 12(b)-1 plan as the Company remits 12(b)-l plan fees to third party selling brokers.

Commissions and other direct variable distribution costs are paid to unrelated distributors by the Company in connection with the sales of certain investment products that entitle the Company to collect 12(b )-1 plan revenues and contingent deferred sales charges. Such deferred acquisition costs are capitalized by the Company and amortized over the term of the contingent deferred sales charge period, which is typically twelve months from the date of investment. During 2018, there were no capitalized deferred acquisition costs or amortization expense for CDSC costs.

The Company's distribution relationship with the affiliated funds ended in March 2019.

#### *Expenses*

The Company recognizes expenses in its Statement of Income as expenses are incurred. The Company is party to a written expense sharing agreement with Hatteras Funds, with whom the Company shares office facilities. The expense sharing agreement results in the Company incurring certain expenses within its Statement of Income based upon a percentage of time, space and equipment used by Hatteras Funds in conducting activities of the Company. The Company and Hatteras Funds review the specific expense sharing percentages and estimates included within the expense sharing agreement annually to ensure such expense sharing percentages and estimates remain reasonable. No changes in those expense sharing percentages and estimates have occurred throughout 2019.

#### *Income Taxes*

The Company is a single member limited liability company that is treated as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. As a result of the Company's designation as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes, no income taxes have been recognized within the Company's financial statements.

The Company has adopted the provisions ofFASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC 740- I 0, the Company is required to evaluate each of its tax position to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective posit ion. A tax position includes an entity's status and the decision not to file a return. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions for which a provision or liability for income taxes is necessary. The Company is evaluating new accounting standards and will implement as necessary.
