#### 1. Organization and Nature of Business

RealCadre Company, Inc. ("RC!"), formerly Westminster JJR, Inc., was formed on June 11, 2014 and commenced operations on June 16, 2014. On May 5, 2015, RCI merged with and into RealCadre Mergerco LLC ("RML"), a Delaware limited liability company. RML changed its name to RealCadre LLC (the "Company") effective June 15, 2015. The Company is wholly owned by Quadro Partners, Inc. ("Parent"), a Delaware corporation. The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and effective January 7, 2015, became a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company offers private placements of interests in private funds and partnerships and secondary transactions of these interests using the Alternative Trading System ("ATS").

The Company relies on the (k)(2)(i) exemption under the 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3 Rule and Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 ("Footnote 74")".

#### 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

#### a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statement has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company's financial statement has been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the financial statement, the Company had an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2021. Because of these conditions and events, the Company remains reliant upon funding from its parent, Quadro Partners, Inc., which has guaranteed its commitment to the Company to provide the necessary level of financial support to enable the Company to pay its obligations as they become due and ensure the Company has sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern.

#### b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") 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 financial. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### c) Cash and cash equivalents

The Company maintains cash balances which, at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had accounts with one banking institution totaling \$3,391,100, of which \$3,141,100 was in excess of the federally insured amount.

The Company considers its investments in short-term money market accounts in the amount of \$3,072,204 to be cash equivalents. The Company defines cash equivalents as short term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than ninety days from date of acquisition. The carrying amounts of such cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

{7}------------------------------------------------

#### Income Taxes d)

As a single member LLC, the Company is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal, state, and local income tax purposes. RealCadre LLC has no commitments to fund the tax liability at the Parent level (or receive any tax benefit from parent), and no tax sharing agreement with Parent is in place. Accordingly, no income tax provision has been recorded for the period ended December 31, 2021.

#### e) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and establish 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 of liability or, in the absence of principal market, the most advantageous market. Management utilizes the market approach, as specified by generally accepted accounting principles, 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 inputs to the valuation hierarchy are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 inputs are inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The unobservable inputs should be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and many include the Company's own data. There were no Level 3 assets or liabilities reported in the Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 2021.

At December 31, 2021, certain financial assets and liabilities that are not carried at fair value in the statement of financial condition, are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk. The fair value of money markets included in cash and cash equivalents of \$3,072,204 are categorized as level 1. There are no level 2 or 3 financial instruments.

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

#### 3. Related Party Transactions

#### (a) Transactions with Affiliates

The Company has entered into an expense sharing agreement ("ESA") with the Parent and an affiliate, CCV LLC, in January 2016, which was amended in September 2019 and made effective as of August 2019. Expenses such as administrative, rent and occupancy, salaries and related costs, business development, stock-based compensation and other back-office services are charged to the Company based on a percentage allocation of employees' time spent. At December 31, 2021, the Company owed \$1,037,495 to the Parent for payments the Parent made on behalf of the Company relating to the expense sharing agreement.

The Company incurs expenses related to introductions, referrals or placements or services with respect to an investment (or a commitment to investment) brokered or offered by the Company and/or advised or managed by CCV LLC (or its relying affiliates). Pursuant to an expense sharing agreement between the Company and CCV LLC ("Affiliate"), a percentage of the incurred expenses is allocated to the Affiliate. The allocation to Affiliate is pro rata to the fees that are reasonably expected to be collected by the Company and CCV LLC (or its affiliates) with respect to the investment made or committed to. At December 31, 2021, CCV LLC owed \$26,911 to the Company reported as Due from affiliates in the Statement of Financial Condition.

#### 4. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may be subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. In management's opinion, based upon the information available as of the date the financial is available to be issued, there are no litigation claims against the Company that would have a material impact on the operating results of the Company.

#### 5. Risks and Uncertainties
