DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS Capella Securities LLC (the "Company") is a broker dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") formed for the purpose of providing broker dealer services including financial advisory services, mergers and acquisition services and to engage in private placement of securities and similar services. The Company's current parent is Capella Partners, LLC. #### NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ### Basis of Presentation These financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") which 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. #### Income Taxes The Company is a limited liability company, treated as a disregarded entity for federal, state and city income tax purposes; it therefore does not incur income taxes at the Company level. Instead its earnings and losses are passed through to the member and included in the calculation of the member's tax liability. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. Management has analyzed the Company's tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded as of December 31, 2022. ### The allowance for credit losses ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses ("ASC 326") impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset. Under ASC 326, the Company could determine there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances (e.g., based on the credit quality of the client). The Company did not have any fees and or receivables (including, but not limited to, other receivables related to securities transactions, and advisory fees) that would have been impacted by this guidance. The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments, including fees and other receivables utilizing the CECL framework. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The Company does not have any fees or other receivables and therefore there is no credit risk. Accordingly, the Company has not provided an allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2022. {7}------------------------------------------------ ### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ### DECEMBER 31, 2022 ### NOTE 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In accordance with a services agreement, the Company's affiliate pays for various specified expenses for which the Company compensates the affiliate in the form of a management fee and for various other expenses, such as sundry professional services, for which the Company does not reimburse the affiliate. As a result, these financial statements do not necessarily reflect the results of operations and financial condition that would have been the result of dealing with unrelated entities. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred \$1,200 for management fees. #### NOTE 4. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. This Rule requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital both as defined shall not exceed 15 to 1 and 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, 2022 the Company had a net capital of \$56,538, which exceeded the minimum requirement of \$5,000 by \$51,538. #### NOTE 5. COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 15C3-3 The Company does not handle cash or securities on behalf of customers and accordingly has no obligation under SEC Rule 15c3-3. #### NOTE 6. CONCENTRATIONS All of the Company's cash is maintained in a single financial institution. The Company does not consider itself to be at risk with respect to this concentration. 81% of the revenue was earned from two customers.
