I have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of DCCA Securities, LLC as of December 31, 2021, the related statements of income, changes in members' equity, and cash flows for the 2021 then ended, and the related notes and schedules. In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DCCA Securities, LLC as of December 31, 2021 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the 2021 then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### **Basis for Opinion**

I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that I 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. My 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.

(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, 2021 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. Actualresults could differfromthose 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

(1) Operations and Summaiy of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

that is recognized. Underthe 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 flowsfrom 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). Furniture, fixtures and equipment have a life of 5 to 7 years and are expensed under bonus and Section 179 depreciation rules. Building improvements have a life of 20 years or less and are also expensed under bonus and Section 179 depreciation mles.

#### 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.

{11}------------------------------------------------

Notesto Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31, 2021

#### (2) Revenue Recognition

#### **To the Board of Directors and Members DCCA Securities, LLC (dba Dinan Capital Advisors)**

My 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 exemption provisions. 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, I do not express such an opinion.

Based on my review, I am 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 Company's business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5, and related SEC staff Frequently Asked Questions.
