### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2022**

### **NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

Kittle Capital Markets, LLC (the Company) is organized as an Indiana limited liability company. The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). The Company was approved by FINRA on July 11, 2013. The Company was formed to engage primarily in the distribution of private placements of real estate products as well as to a lesser extent, the public offering of unlisted shares of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs"). The private placements will typically consist of Regulation D offerings. The offerings will be structured by the Firm's parent company, Herman & Kittle Properties, Inc., or one of its affiliates, together with outside legal counsel. Once structured, the offerings will be marketed by the Company. The securities will be offered on a best-efforts basis to investment advisors, accredited investors that are known to the Company's registered personnel. The Company is also affiliated with two registered representatives operating as Skellig Capital Advisors ("Skellig"). Skellig provides M&A advisory services for mainly Midwestern clients in a myriad of industries from healthcare and business services to technology, media, telecoms, manufacturing, agriculture, logistics and distributions. Clients are either long-term clients of Skellig, referred to Skellig or the Company through contacts or Skellig becomes aware of a potential client's needs through networking.

The Company, for the year ended December 31, 2022 had commission income, and while operations did not result in a loss, the managing member has stated he has the intent and ability to fund any future losses either individually or through the parent company.

**Estimates:** The Company uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingencies and the reported revenues and expenses. Accordingly, actual results could vary from those estimates.

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

**Performance Obligations:** Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring promised goods or services performed to customers. A good or service is transferred to or performed for a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that good or service performed. A performance obligation may be satisfied over time or at a point in time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised good or service performed. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those promised goods or services performed.

**Private Placement:** Performance obligations in these arrangements vary dependent on the contract, but are typically satisfied upon completion of the arrangement. Placement fees are recognized upon completion of a deal and are generally classified as Commission Income.

**Investment Banking:** Transaction fees resulting from investment banking activities are recorded at closing of the transaction. Subsequent contingent fees are recorded upon the occurrence of additional funding related to the original transaction and the income is reasonably determinable.

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

### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2022**

### **NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**

**Income Taxes:** The Company is a limited liability company whereby taxable income, losses, credits, etc. are recognized for federal and state income tax reporting purposes by its member. Accordingly, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

The Company's member files federal and various state income tax returns. The Company's member is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for all years before 2019.

**Subsequent Events:** The Company has evaluated the financial statements for subsequent events occurring through February 23, 2023, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

### **NOTE 2 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENT**

As a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and FINRA, the Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1, which requires the maintenance of minimum Net Capital and requires that the ratio of Aggregate Indebtedness to Net Capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 times Net Capital. At December 31, 2022, the Company had Net Capital of \$41,789, which was \$36,789 in excess of the required Net Capital of \$5,000.

#### **NOTE 3 - CONCENTRATION**

Approximately 96% of revenue is from four investment banking deals.

### **NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company incurs expenses pursuant to an expense sharing arrangement with its Parent Company for expenditures such as salaries and rent. Expenses related to this arrangement totaled \$58,200 for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company's Parent forgave expenses pursuant to the expense sharing arrangement for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Exemption Report

To the Member and Board of Directors of Kittle Capital Markets, LLC

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report Pursuant to SEA Rule 17a-5(d)(4 ), in which (1) Kittle Capital Markets, LLC did not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3, and (2) Kittle Capital Markets, LLC is filing this Exemption Report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because Kittle Capital Markets, LLC limits its business activities exclusively to: (1) mergers and acquisitions advisory services; (2) private placement of securities; and (3) wholesale and/or retail distribution of publicly registered non-traded real estate investment trusts (REITS), and Kittle Capital Markets, LLC (1) did 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 Rule15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to Kittle Capital Markets, LLC); (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.

Kittle Capital Markets, LLC'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 Kittle Capital Markets, 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, 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 upon Kittle Capital Markets, LLC business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5, and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions.
