# HUNT FINANCIAL SECURITIES, LLC Notes to Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition December 31, 2020

#### (1) General

Hunt Financial Securities, LLC ("HFS" or "Company"), is a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. HFS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hunt Capital Holdings Investments, LLC ("Parent") which is an indirect subsidiary of Hunt Companies, Inc. ("HCI" or "Hunt").

The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory ("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). The Company provides business advisory services and acts as a placement agent with respect to structured financings and/or other financings.

# (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

# a. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition of the Company is prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

# b. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition includes the accounts of investees that are consolidated pursuant to the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, Consolidation. Third party equity interests in the assets and related net income or losses of consolidated investees are reported as non-controlling interests in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. Interests not consolidated pursuant to such guidance are accounted for using the equity method or cost method as deemed appropriate. Significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated and transactions and profits not yet realized from third parties have been deferred.

The Company consolidates Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") in which it is determined to be the primary beneficiary. A VIE is an entity (a) that has total equity at risk that is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other entities, (b) where the group of equity holders does not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, or the obligation to absorb the entity's expected losses or the right to receive the entity's expected residual returns, or both, or (c) where the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both, and substantially all of the entity's activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.

We determine if a legal entity is a VIE by performing a qualitative analysis that requires certain subjective decisions including, but not limited to, the design of the entity, the variability that the entity was designed to create and pass along to its interest holders, the rights of the parties and the purpose of the arrangement.

The Company performs ongoing reassessments of whether any entities previously evaluated have become VIEs based on certain events, and therefore subject to the VIE consolidation framework and whether changes in the facts and circumstances regarding the Company's involvement with a VIE causes the Company's consolidation conclusion regarding the VIE to change.

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition includes the accounts of the Company and of entities that are considered to be variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as well as those entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including wholly-owned

### Notes to Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition December 31, 2020

subsidiaries. For those VIEs where the Company does not consolidate, our risk of loss is limited to our investments in, advances to, and/or receivables due from VIEs.

#### C. Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and related disclosure in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

## d. Fair Value Measurements

The Company's presentation of fair value for its financial assets and liabilities is determined within a framework that stipulates that the fair value of a financial asset or liability is a price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. A transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability is a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. This definition of fair value focuses on an exit price and prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over the entity-specific inputs when determining fair value. In addition, the framework for measuring fair value establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

## e. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and short-term instruments with a maturity date of three months or less at acquisition. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020. Certain cash deposits at other high quality financial institutions exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits and potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe there to be any significant credit risk with respect to these deposits.

## f. Fees and Other Receivables Due from Affiliate

Fees and other receivables due from affiliate include accrued asset management fees and receivables. Such receivables measured at amortized cost are presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses valuation account, if any, is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset and presented at net carrying value. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Judgment is used in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate.

#### Income Taxes છું

The Company is a single member Limited Liability Company ("SMLLC") and as such, is treated as disregarded for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Some states impose an entity level tax. The Company files standalone tax returns for these types of taxes in state and local jurisdictions in which it does business. For income tax purposes, all the assets, liabilities, and items of income, deductions, gains and losses flow to Hunt Capital Holdings Investments, LLC. Hunt Capital Holdings Investments, LLC is a disregarded entity of Hunt ELP, Ltd, a Texas limited partnership. Hunt ELP, Ltd's majority partner is Hunt Company, LLC which is wholly owned by Hunt Companies, Inc. HCI has elected to be treated as an S Corporation for federal income tax purposes. All of HCI's items of income, deductions, gains and losses are passed through to its individual shareholders.

{8}------------------------------------------------

# HUNT FINANCIAL SECURITIES, LLC Notes to Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition December 31, 2020

The Company accounts for state and local income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Company adopted ASC Subtopic 740-10, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for use in connection with the obligation of a Company to recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statement uncertain tax positions.

### h. Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

· In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Topic 326 replaced the incurred loss impairment methodology pursuant to GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company adopted the Topic 326 amendments on January 1, 2020, which did not have a material impact on its Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

### (3) Broker-Dealer

The Company did not have any trading instruments or trading instruments sold, not yet purchased at December 31, 2020. There were no amounts receivable from or amounts payable to brokers and clearing brokers at December 31, 2020.

### (4) Regulatory Requirements

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 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 70% for a period in excess of 90 days. Minimum net capital cannot be less than \$250 thousand or 2% of aggregate debit items, whichever is greater. At December 31, 2020, the Company had no aggregate indebtedness and net capital of approximately \$1.3 million which exceeded the required net capital.

There were no material differences between the audited statements of financial condition.

The Company does not handle customers' cash or securities, as such the Company does not have any Reserve or Possession and Control Requirements with respect to SEC Rule 15c3-3 and it is not affected by Rule 15c3-3.

### (5) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company, from time to time, may be a party to litigation relating to claims arising in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2020, the Company is not aware of any legal claims that could materially impact its financial condition.

### (6) Related-Party Transactions

## (a) Hunt Companies Business Services

Through April 1, 2020, the Company and its former subsidiaries were under a master shared services agreement with Hunt Company Business Services, LLC ("HCBS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hunt, whereby HCBS provided the Company and its former subsidiaries certain Accounting, Financial
