### **RHCA SECURITIES. LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

### **1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS**

RHCA Securities, LLC (the "Company') was formed as a Limited Liability Company in Texas in 2014. The Company is a broker-dealer in securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company's office is located in Houston, Texas. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rock House Capital Advisors, LLC (the "Parent").

### **2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

### Basis of Presentation

The Company is engaged to provide merger, acquisition, divestiture and advisory services to emerging growth and middle market companies. The Company will also provide assistance in raising debt and equity capital through the private placement of securities.

### Revenue Recognition

Transaction fees resulting from investment banking activities are recorded at closing of the transaction. Subsequent contingent fees are recorded upon the occurrence of specified milestone events related to the original transaction and the income is reasonably determinable.

#### Cash

Cash, for purposes of the statement of cash flows, includes cash in a bank checking account.

#### Accounts Receivable

In the opinion of management, no material losses will be realized in the collection of receivables and, therefore, no allowance for doubtful receivables has been provided. The Company has recorded a receivable of \$110,250 as of December 31, 2017 related to the transaction fee for a transaction completed in October 2016 as this is the amount that has been received so far from the customer. The Company is in dispute with the customer and believes that an additional \$110,250 is due under the agreement. The Company has not recorded this amount as of December 31, 2017 and will record additional revenue for any additional amount received from the customer after the dispute has been resolved. The receipt from the customer for the receivable has not yet been deposited to a bank due to the dispute. Accordingly, the \$110,250 recorded as a receivable is still accounted for as outstanding at December 31, 2017.

#### 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 the assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash, prepaid expenses and payables are short-term in nature and accordingly are reported in the statement of financial condition at fair value or carrying amounts that approximate fair value.

#### Income Taxes

The Company is treated as a flow-through entity for income tax purposes. As a result, the net taxable income of the Company and any related tax credits, for federal income tax purposes, are deemed to pass to the Parent and are included in the Parent's members' personal tax returns even though such net taxable income or tax credits may not actually have been distributed. Accordingly, no tax provision has been made in the financial statements since the income tax is a personal 

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

obligation of the individual members of the parent. The Company is subject to state income tax. The Company provided \$2,250 for estimated Texas margin taxes for the year ended December 31, 2017.

## Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all transactions from December 31, 2017 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

## **3. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (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 to 1 (and the rule of the "applicable" exchange also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1). At December 31, 2017, the Company had net capital of \$27,135 which was \$22,135 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's net capital ratio was 0.12 to 1 at December 31,2017.

### **4. LIABILITIES SUBORDINATED TO CLAIMS OF GENERAL CREDITORS**

During the year ended December 31, 2017, there were no subordinated liabilities to the claims of general creditors. Accordingly, a statement of changes in liabilities subordinated to claims of general creditors has not been included in these financial statements.

### **5. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK**

The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is the company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counter-party. The Company's financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash. The Company places its cash with one high credit quality institution. At times, such cash may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. The Company believes that it is not exposed to any significant risk related to cash.

### **6. CONTINGENCIES**

In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company may be subjected to loss contingencies arising from lawsuits. Management believes that the outcome of such matters, if any, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of future operations.

#### **7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Parent provided Chief Compliance Officer services to the Company totaling \$2,500 in 2017. The Parent also provided certain office and administrative services to the Company. In return, the Company pays the Parent a monthly common sharing cost allocation fee. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred allocation fees from the Parent of approximately \$9,432, which was reflected in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations and changes in member's equity. The existence of this association creates operating results and a financial position significantly different than if the companies were autonomous.

{9}------------------------------------------------

### **8. COMPUTATION FOR DETERMINATION OF RESERVE REQUIREMENTS AND INFORMATION RELATING TO POSSESSION OR CONTROL REQUIREMENTS PURSUANT TO RULE 15c3-3**

The Company operates under the provisions of Paragraph (k) (2) (i) of Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC and, accordingly, is exempt from the remaining provisions of that Rule. Essentially, the requirements of Paragraph (k) (2) (i) provide that the Company will not hold customer funds or safe keep customer securities. Under these exemptive provisions, the Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and the disclosure of Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements are not required.

### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report - Management Assertions regarding RHCA Securities, LLC, in which (1) RHCA Securities, LLC, identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which RHCA Securities, LLC, claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3: (2)(i) (the "exemption provisions") and (2) RHCA Securities, LLC stated that RHCA Securities, LLC met the identified exemption provisions throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception.

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 RHCA Securities, LLC's compliance with the exemption provisions.

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.

This agreed-upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose. The procedures we performed and our findings are as follows:

We were not engaged to, and did not conduct an examination, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion on compliance with the applicable instructions of the Form SIPC-7. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.
