#### **NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS**

MC Square Capital, LLC., formerly Exit 3 Capital Markets, LLC (the "Company") was originally formed on July 26, 2013 as a registered Broker Dealer with the Security Exchange Commission ("SEC") and a Member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). In February 9, 2016, the Company was granted approval by FINRA for an ownership change where 100% of the Company was sold to MC Square Intermediate Holdings, LLC. Subsequent to FINRA approval, the Company was renamed MC Square Capital, LLC on March 3, 2016. Going forward, all references to "Company" shall mean MC Square Capital, LLC.

The Company engages in the private placement of securities, mergers and acquisition advisory services, corporate finance & development services and investment banking advisory services. The Company holds no customer funds or securities and does not participate in the underwriting of Securities. Accordingly, the Company claims exemption from the requirements of Rule 15c3-3 under Section (k)(2)(i) of the rule.

#### **NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

 *(a) Basis of Presentation*

The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") unless otherwise disclosed.

 *(b) 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.

### *( c) Statement of Cash Flows*

For purposes of the statement of cash flows the Company has defined cash equivalents as highly liquid investments, with original maturities of less than three months, that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business. The company has adopted the indirect method of presenting the statement of cash flows in accordance with current authoritative

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

### **NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**

pronouncements. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2020. Cash is held at a financial institution and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

For further discussion of cash, see "Note 4 Concentrations and Economic Dependency"

### (*d) Revenue Recognition*

The Company is entitled to placement and / or transaction fees associated with the success of its work as such fees are earned, defined generally as when capital is irrevocably committed by investors and any funding or other contingencies have been removed. Revenue is recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606 as services are rendered and the contracts identified performance obligations have been satisfied. There were no unsatisfied performance obligations at December 31, 2020.

## *(e) Income Taxes*

The Company is treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included in the financial statements. The Company's tax returns and the amount of income or loss allocable to the member are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. In the event of an examination of the Company's tax return, the tax liability of the member could be changed if an adjustment in the Company's income or loss is ultimately determined by the taxing authorities.

Certain transactions may be subject to accounting methods for federal and state income tax purposes which differ from the accounting methods used in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, the net income or loss of the member and the resulting balances in the members' capital account reported for federal and state income tax purposes may differ from the balances reported for those same items in these financial statements.

The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under that guidance the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of the financial reporting period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change.

Management has determined that the Company has no uncertain tax positions that would

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

#### **NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**

require financial statement recognition at December 31, 2020. This determination will always be subject to ongoing evaluation as facts and circumstances may require. The Company remains subject to U.S. federal and state income tax audits for all years subsequent to 2016.

In addition, no income tax related penalties or interest have been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 *(f) Advertising and Marketing*

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.

 *(g) General and Administrative Expenses*

General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred.

 *(h) Fair Value Hierarchy*

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by FASB ASC 820, are used to measure fair value.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

- *Level 1.* Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
- *Level 2.* Inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the assets or liability either directly or indirectly.
- *Level 3.* Inputs are unobservable for the assets or liability.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, the liquidity of

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

### **NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)**

markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining the fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

For further discussion of fair value, see "Note 5 Fair Value"

## **NOTE 3 – NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company, as a registered broker-dealer in securities is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1). The Company has elected to operate under that portion of the Rule which requires the Company maintain "net capital" equal to the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, as those terms are defined in the Rule. At December 31, 2020, the Company had net capital of \$2,080,754, which was \$2,075,754 in excess of its required minimum net capital of \$5,000. The Company had an AI/NC ratio of 0.5%.

Advances to affiliates, contributions, distributions and other withdrawals are subject to certain notification and other requirements of Rule 15c3-1 and other regulatory rules. The Company is exempt from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company relies on its SEC Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(i) exemption.

See "Note 10 Subsequent Events" for updated exemption status.

### **NOTE 4 – CONCENTRATIONS AND ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY**

The Company's revenues are related to placement and / or transaction fees as discussed in Note 2 above. There is no assurance of future revenues from such fees.

One customer accounted for 46% of 2020 revenues.

The Company maintains its cash at a financial institution in amounts that exceeded federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020 cash balances held that exceeded federally insured limits amounted to \$1,841,133.

{14}------------------------------------------------

### **NOTE 5 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND UNCOLLECTIBLE FUNDS**

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoiced amounts and are considered fully collectible. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible.

#### **NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE**

Cash, receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities are reflected in the financial statements at carrying value which approximates fair value because of the shortterm maturity of these instruments.

### **NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-1(e)(2) the Company may not authorize distributions to its members if such distributions cause the Company's net capital to fall below 120% of the Company's minimum net capital requirement. As of December 31, 2020 the Company was not in violation of this requirement.

The Company had no lease or equipment rental commitments, no underwriting commitments, no contingent liabilities, and had not been named as a defendant in any lawsuit at December 31, 2020 or during the year then ended.

#### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Member

of MC Square Capital, LLC

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report Pursuant to SEC Rule 17a-5, in which (1) MC Square Capital, LLC identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which MC Square Capital, LLC claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3: ((k)(2)(i))) (exemption provisions) and (2) MC Square Capital, LLC stated that MC Square Capital, LLC met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. MC Square Capital, 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 MC Square Capital, 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 on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(2)(i) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
