(1) Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Nature of Company's business:

DCCA Securities, LLC ("the Company") was registered under the laws of the State of Arizona in February, 2011 to operate as a middle-market investment bank providing merger, acquisition, valuation and private placement advisory services to clients.

Cash and cash equivalents:

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2020 and periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained balances in excess of Federally insured limits.

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.

Financial instruments

Fair value is determined by using available market information and valuation methodologies. Financial instruments include cash, and accounts receivable, which are carried at fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), that supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09, as amended, requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The guidance also requires additional disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue

that is recognized. Under the new guidance, an entity is required to perform the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not result in a material change in the timing of revenue recognition or a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows from adopting this standard.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases" that requires for leases longer than one year, a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial condition a right·of-use asset, representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability, representing the liability to make lease payments. The accounting update also requires that for finance leases, a lessee recognize interest expense on the lease liability, separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statements of earnings, while for operating leases, such amounts should be recognized as a combined expense. In addition, this accounting update requires expanded disclosures about the nature and terms of lease agreements. The Company has reviewed the new standard and does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.

#### Expense sharing

The Company has an expense sharing agreement at its home office with its owner, Dinan & Company, LLC, whereby portions of certain expenses, primarily rent, payroll, insurance, furniture and equipment are shared by the companies. Under the arrangement, the Company has no liability under rental leases ( except as stated in footnote 7) and owns no depreciable assets.

#### Advertising Costs

The Company generally expenses the costs of mailers and published advertisements as of the date the advertisements occur. There were no advertising costs or deferred expenses.

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

Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31, 2020

### (2) Revenue Recognition

The Company receives closing fees and retainer fees in accordance with terms stipulated in contracts with clients. Closing fees are recognized as earned when transactions are closed per the agreements. Retainer fees are recognized in the period services are rendered.

#### (3) Related party:

Amounts paid to the Company's owner for shared expenses follow:

| Payroll-including payroll tax and insurance | \$ 281 232  |
|---------------------------------------------|-------------|
| Rent                                        | 105 000     |

#### (4) Income taxes:

All income and expense is passed through the Company for tax purposes and reported on the income tax returns of the individual member. Accordingly, the financial statements include no provision or liability for income taxes. Generally, the Company is subject to examination by U.S. Federal and state income tax authorities for three years from the filing of a tax return.

(5) Net capital requirements:

The Company is subject to regulatory requirements for m1mmum capitalization by FINRA. At December 31, 2020, the Company had net capital of \$664,964, which was \$659,964 in excess of its required capital of \$5,000.

{13}------------------------------------------------

Notes to Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31, 2020

( 6) Subsequent events:

(7) Commitments and contingencies:

Leases on office facilities expire in 2021. Rental expense, excluding shared expenses, was \$30,273. The rental payments required in 2021 are \$8,770.

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

To the Member DCCA Securities, LLC

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which (1) DCCA Securities, LLC does not claim an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3, and (2) DCCA Securities, LLC is filing the Exemption Report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 as a Non-Covered Firm as it limits its business activities exclusively to (a) merger and acquisition advisory services; (b) investment banking-related consulting services, and (c) private placement of securities (excluding oil & gas offerings and REITs) and DCCA Securities, LLC (1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers; (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. DCCA Securities, LLC's management is reponsible for compliance with the Non-Covered Firm Provision 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 DCCA Securities, LLC's compliance with the Non-Covered Firm Provision. 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 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 Non-Covered Firm Provision.
