### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2020 (See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm)
#### Note 1 Description of the Company
SWCD LLC dba Campfire Capital (the "Company") formed on June 19, 2008, is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company engages in the private placement of securities, mergers & acquisitions advisory services, corporate finance & development services, and investment banking advisory services. The Company received its FINRA approval for membership on April 29, 2014. The Company amended its membership agreement with FINRA on June 18, 2020 and will not claim exemption from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC, in reliance on footnote 74 to SEC Release 34-70073.
#### Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
### Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all money market accounts, time deposits and certificate of deposits purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2020, there were no cash equivalents.
### Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
### Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
### Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606"). The 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. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
{7}------------------------------------------------
### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2020 (See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm)
#### Note 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
### Revenue Recognition (continued)
Revenue from contracts with customers includes fees from investment banking and financial advisory services. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Sigmificant judgement 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.
Revenue from investment banking success fees are generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction). Revenue from financial advisory retainer fees are generally recognized over time in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer.
Revenue from financial advisory valuation fees are generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed. Retainers and other fees received from customers prior to recognizing revenue are reflected as contract liabilities. At December 31, 2020, contract liabilities were \$0. Disaggregation can be found on statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.
### Accounts Receivable
An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained based on management's assessment of the collectability of accounts receivable. The Company includes accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in the overall allowances for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. Based on the information available, the Company believes no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary as of December 31, 2020.
### Income Taxes
The sole member of the Company has elected to have the Company taxed as a single member LLC. Accordingly, the Company is not subject to federal or state income taxes. All taxable income or loss and tax credits are reflected on the income tax returns of the member. Tax periods from December 31, 2017 are subject to audit.
#### Related Partv Transactions Note 3
The Company utilizes office space owned by the sole member. No rent was charged to the Company during the 12 months ended December 31, 2020.

(See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm)
#### Note 3 Related Party Transactions (Continued)
The Company has an exclusive arrangement with Centre Partners, LLC whereby any transaction related to their portfolio companies is affected through Campfire Capital's broker dealer structure. Certain fees associated with these transactions are recorded as revenue, while the commission paid for success fees and the like are paid to registered representatives under the Campfire Capital structure, who are also principals of Centre Partners, LLC. The Company in turn receives an annual retainer of \$50,000 and is reimbursed for transaction and regulatory costs of recording these revenues through the Company.
#### Note 4 Concentrations
### Customers
The Company had three contracts with customers that generated 62% of total annual revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020.
## Cash
The Company maintains its cash at financial institutions in bank deposits, which may exceed federally-insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant risk with respect to cash.
#### Note 5 Net Capital Requirements
The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of a minimum net capital balance and requires that the Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital, as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2020 the Company's net capital was \$16,119, which was \$11,119 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.47 to 1.
#### Note 6 Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through March 17, 2021, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
#### Note 7 Risks and Uncertainties
In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This pandemic event has resulted in significant business disruptions and uncertainty in both global and U.S. markets. While management believes the Company is in an appropriate position to weather the potential short-term effects of these worldwide events, the direct and long-term impact to the Company and its financial statements is undetermined at this time.
