In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CC Securities, LLC as of December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### **Basis for Opinion** These financial statements are the responsibility of CC Securities, LLC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on CC Securities, LLC's financial statements 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 CC 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. 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 statements are 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 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. 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 statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have served as CC Securities, LLC's auditor since 2019.

Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies** ### *Nature of Business* CC Securities, LLC (the "Company") was formed in Delaware in December 2009 and is located in New York. The Company completed its registration as a broker-dealer in April 2011 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of The CenterCap Group, LLC (the "Parent"). The Company is a strategic and financial advisory firm, which provides mergers and acquisitions, private placement and capital raising advisory services to middle market companies and fund managers across the real estate industry. ### *Basis of Presentation* The financial statement has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). ### *Use of Estimates* The preparation of financial statement in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates. #### *Fees Receivable* Fees receivable are carried at the amounts billed to customers, net of an allowance for credit losses, which is an estimate for credit losses based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Fees receivable were approximately \$1,574,000 as of December 31 , 2024. Fees receivable were approximately \$3,733,000 as of December 31 , 2025. #### *Allowance for credit losses* The Company applies Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326") for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset, recorded at inception or purchase. The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments carried at amortized cost, including fees receivable utilizing the CECL framework. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The Company's expectation is that the credit risk associated with fees receivables is not significant until they are 90 days past due on the contractual arrangement and expectation of collection in accordance with industry standards. Management does not believe that an allowance is required on the {7}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT December 31, 2025** #### **1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies ( continued)** ### *Allowance for credit losses (continued)* Company's outstanding fees receivable as of December 31 , 2025. #### *Revenue Recognition* Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606"), as amended. The new revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. At times significant judgement may be required to determine the transaction price or the timing of revenue recognition. A degree of judgement was applied by the Company when continuing to evaluate the amounts and timing of revenue recognized, associated with a receivable which was initially recorded at the present value of a series of contractual payments. The Company earns investment banking revenue primarily from fees associated with providing strategic advisory and capital raising services to private and public companies in the real estate industry. Revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction) and is based on either the transaction value or a fixed fee pursuant to a written agreement. For certain advisory contracts, a retainer may be paid to the Company and the revenue is recognized over time when certain performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer based on the terms of the contract and customary business practices. The transaction price or amount of revenue recognized is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the promised services noted in the written agreements with its customers. Revenue for capital raising transactions is generally recognized on the closing date of the transaction under the terms of the agreement when the underlying transaction is completed and the fee is contingent on either the amount of capital raised or the transaction value. The Company's revenues are earned pursuant to either fixed price contracts or variable priced contracts, or a combination of both. In all cases, transaction fees are contingent on a transaction closing and proceeds changing hands. Generally, the Company's advisory transaction fees are payable pursuant to variable or fixed priced contracts and the Company's capital raising transaction fees are payable pursuant to variable priced contracts. {8}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT December 31, 2025** #### **1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies ( continued)** #### *Revenue Recognition (continued)* The Company earns supervision fees for providing oversight to the securities activities of registered representatives. These revenues are generally recognized monthly as supervisory performance obligations are satisfied. #### *Significant Judgements* Revenue from contracts with customers includes fees from placement and marketing fee revenues from raising capital. 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 the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events. #### *Income Taxes* The Company, a limited liability company, has elected to be treated as a partnership under the applicable provisions of income tax laws. The Company is a single member limited liability company and, accordingly, no income taxes are incurred by the Company as all earnings and losses flow directly to the Parent. However, the Company is subject to city income taxes and records a provision for unincorporated business taxes and reimburses the Parent for taxes incurred and attributable to the Company's income, which is reported in the Parent's tax returns. The Company follows an asset and liability to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on the enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The determination of the Company's provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items and the probability of sustaining uncertain tax positions. The benefits of uncertain tax positions are recorded in the Company's financial statements only after determining a more-likely-than-not probability that the uncertain tax positions will withstand challenge, if any, from tax authorities. When facts and circumstances change, the Company reassesses these probabilities and records any changes in the consolidated financial statements as appropriate. In accordance with GAAP, the Company is required to determine whether a tax position of the Company is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation {9}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT December 31, 2025** #### **1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies ( continued)** #### *Income Taxes (continued)* processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized could result in the Company recording a tax liability that would reduce net assets. This policy also provides guidance on thresholds, measurement, de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial statement comparability among different entities. It must be applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption and the cumulative effect, if any, is to be reported as an adjustment to net assets as of January 1, 2009. Based on its analysis, the Company has determined that the adoption of this policy did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption. However, management's conclusions regarding this policy may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had no provision for income taxes. The Company remains subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax audits for all periods subsequent to 2022. Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.* ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced disclosures regarding income taxes, including disaggregated information about income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) by domestic and foreign sources, and income tax expense (or benefit) by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions. The ASU also requires a more detailed reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the effective tax rate, with reconciling items presented in specified categories and additional qualitative information for significant items. Further, the ASU requires disclosure of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by jurisdiction. The Company adopted the standard as required for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or income tax disclosures. #### *Leases* In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes the existing guidance for lease accounting, Leases (Topic 840). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize all leases with a term greater than 12 months on the balance sheet through a right of use asset and a lease liability and the disclosure of key information pertaining to leasing arrangements. This guidance is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2016- 02 did not have a material impact to the Company's financial statement and related disclosures. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT December 31, 2025** #### **1. Nature of business and summary of significant accounting policies ( continued)** #### *Segment Reporting* In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023- 07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"), which requires incremental disclosures about reportable segments but does not change the definition of a segment or the guidance for determining reportable segments. The new guidance requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are (1) regularly provided to (or easily computed from information regularly provided to) the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and (2) included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. The new standard also requires companies to disclose the title and position of the individual ( or the name of the committee) identified as the CODM, allows companies to disclose multiple measures of segment profit or loss if those measures are used to assess performance and allocate resources, and is applicable to companies with a single reportable segment. The requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2024, and are required to be applied retrospectively. The Company has adopted the additional disclosure requirements under ASU 2023-07. The additional requirements did not have a material impact on the financial statement. #### **2. Cash and cash equivalents and concentration of credit risk** The Company considers bank money market accounts and money market mutual funds to be cash equivalents. The Company defines cash equivalents as short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than ninety days at the time of purchase. The carrying amounts of such cash equivalents approximate the fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments. The Company maintains its cash balances in two financial institutions, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not subject to any significant credit risk on cash. #### **3. Related party transactions** #### *Expense Sharing Agreement and Due to Parent* Pursuant to an expense sharing agreement, the Company's Parent provides various services and other operating assistance to the Company. These include professional services, physical premises, utilities, the use of office equipment, travel, insurance, subscriptions, personnel, payroll taxes and other general and administrative services. As of December 31 , 2025, the amount due by the Company to the Parent was approximately \$372,000 is classified as Due to parent in the Statement of Financial Condition. #### **4. Concentration of fees receivable** As of December 31 , 2025, 99% of the fees receivable were due from two customers. {11}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT December 31, 2025** #### **5. Segment reporting** The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer and provides mergers and acquisitions, private placement and capital raising advisory services as an agent. The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who 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 [6]), 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 distributions. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company's segment assets and liabilities are the same as those reported in the Company's statement of financial condition. #### **6. Net capital requirement** The Company is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-l. This Rule 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 and that equity capital may not be withdrawn if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. At December 31 , 2025, the Company's net capital was approximately \$344,000, which was approximately \$161 ,000 in excess of its minimum requirement of approximately \$183,000. #### **7. Exemption from Rule 15c3-3** The Company is exempt from the provisions of SEC Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company does not hold customers' cash or securities and therefore, has no obligations under SEC Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. #### **8. Subsequent Events** Management of the Company has evaluated all subsequent transactions through March 2, 2026, the date the financial statement was available to be issued. Effective January 1, 2026, the Company entered into an assignment agreement pursuant to which 40% of certain future cash payments related to previously executed placement transactions will be directly payable by the placement agent to another broker-dealer. The assignment applies only to payments due subsequent to December 31 , 2025 and does not affect revenue previously earned by the Company. Accordingly, no adjustment has been made to the accompanying financial statements as of December 31 , 2025. Subsequent to December 31 , 2025, due to the assignment agreement noted above, the Company's fees receivable balance and corresponding accrued expenses will be reduced by approximately \$888,000 and approximately \$800,000, respectively, resulting in a net loss from the assignment agreement of approximately \$88,000. {12}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT December 31, 2025** #### **8. Subsequent Events ( continued)** It has been determined that there are no other subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statement.
