In our opinion, the statement of financial condition presents fairty, in all material respects, the financial position of Aldwych Securities LLC as of December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### **Basis for Opinion** This financial statement is the responsibility of Aldwych Securities LLC's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Aldwych Securities LLC s financial statement 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 Aldwych 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.

Organization** Aldwych Securities LLC (the "Company") is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aldwych Capital Partners LLC (the "Parent"). The Company is a limited liability company and was formed under the laws of the State of New York. The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). ## **2. Significant Accounting Policies** ## **Basis of Financial Statement Presentation** The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). ### **Use of Estimates** In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from such estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements. #### **Revenue Recognition** Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The Company provides advisory services on mergers and acquisitions (M&A). 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) or the contract is cancelled. However, for certain contracts, revenue **is** recognized over time for advisory arrangements in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. In some circumstances, significant judgement is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract. Retainers and other fees received from customers prior to recognizing revenue are reflected as contract liabilities. All revenue has been recognized as of a point in time. #### **Income Taxes** As a single member LLC whose Parent is also a single member LLC, the Company's taxable income or loss is reported on the tax returns of its ultimate member. At December 31, 2023, management has determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition. This determination will always be subject to ongoing reevaluation as facts and circumstances may require. {7}------------------------------------------------ Aldwych Securities LLC Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2023 ## **3. Related-Party Transactions** The Company maintains an administrative services agreement with the Parent and an Affiliate. Pursuant to the agreement, the Parent and the Affiliate provide accounting, administration, information technology, compliance services, office space, employee services and other services. The Parent and Affiliate provide these services at no cost to the Company. ## **4. Net Capital Requirements** The Company is subject to SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of a minimum net capital, as defined, shall not be less than \$5,000 and maintenance of the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, not to exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2023, the Company had net capital of \$6,012 which exceeded its required capital by \$1,012. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 2.09 to 1. The Company operates pursuant to the paragraph (k)(2)(i) exemption provision of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-3, of the customer protection rules, and does not hold customer funds or securities. Therefore, there are no reserve requirements and no possession and control requirements. ### **5. Commitments and Contingencies** The Company had no underwriting commitments, no contingent liabilities and had not been named as defendant in any lawsuit at December 31, 2023 or during the year then ended. #### **6. Future Operations** The Company has experienced recurring losses, and negative operating cash flows throughout the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company does not have the liquidity required to fund the next twelve months of operations, which raises substantial doubt to continue as a going concern, without additional revenue sources, member capital contributions or debt financing. During the year ended December 31, 2023, member capital contributions totaled \$46,232. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments to reflect a liquidation basis. The Parent has made a commitment to provide necessary working capital to continue the operations of the Company, when needed. {8}------------------------------------------------ Aldwych Securities LLC Notes to Financial Statement December 31, 2023 ### **7. Subsequent Event** For disclosure purposes in the financial statements, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 22, 2024, the date the financial statements were available to be issued and there are no material events that would require adjustment to, or disclosure in, the Company's financial statements.
