## 1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

#### Business

REVL Securities, LLC (the "Company") is a Limited Liability Company formed on March 2, 2015 in the State of Delaware. Effective July 21, 2016, the Company became registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as a securities broker-dealer and received approval from and became a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA").

As a limited liability company, the member is not liable for the debts, obligations, or liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, unless the member has signed a specific guarantee.

## Basis of Presentation

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

### Accounting Pronouncement – ASC 606 Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (ASC 606). Under ASC 606 revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of performance obligations by transferring control over goods or service to a customer.

The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

Private placement transaction and service fee revenue includes fees from debt offerings and debt advisory in which the Company acts as a placement agent or advisor, respectively. The Company may arrange for the private placement of securities with investors on an agency basis. The Company believes that its performance obligation is satisfied upon the sale of securities to investors and as such this is fulfilled on the closing date of the transaction.

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

Private placement transaction fee revenue is recorded upon completion of the transactions per the term of the agreements. Private placement service fee revenue is recorded when services are provided per the terms of the agreements.

Mergers and Acquisitions advisory fee revenue includes fees from offerings and advisory in which the Company acts as an agent or advisor, respectively. Mergers and Acquisitions advisory fee revenue is recorded upon completion of the transactions per the terms of the agreements. Mergers and Acquisitions advisory service fee revenue is recorded when services are provided per the terms of the agreements.

The Company buys and sells securities on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into a buy or sell transaction, the Company charges a commission. Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date (the date that the Company or another broker/dealer fills the trade order by finding and contracting with a counterparty and confirms the trade with the customer). The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the price is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). The accounting standard, along with its related amendments, replaced the rules-based GAAP governing revenue recognition with a principles-based approach. The Company adopted the standard in 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, which requires the Company to apply this revenue standard to (i) all new revenue contracts entered into after the adoption date and (ii) all existing revenue contracts as of the adoption date through a cumulative adjustment to equity. In accordance with this approach, revenues for periods prior to the adoption date will not be revised.

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

#### 1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

#### Accounting Pronouncement – ASC 606 Revenue Recognition (continued)

The core principle in the ASC 606 guidance is that a company should recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration the company expects to receive for those goods or services. In order to apply this core principle, the Company will apply the following five steps in determining the amount of revenues to recognize: (i) identify the contract; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Each of these steps involves management's judgment and an analysis of the material terms and conditions of the contract.

Although total revenues may not be materially impacted by this guidance, management notes changes to the disclosures based on the additional requirements prescribed by ASC 606. The ASC 606 disclosures include information regarding the judgments used in evaluating when and how revenue is recognized and disclosures related to contract assets and liabilities.

## Income Taxes

As a limited liability company, the Company is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements, since all items of income or loss are required to be reported on the income tax return of the member, who is responsible for any taxes thereon.

The Company remains subject to tax examinations by all taxing authorities for the 2020, 2021, and 2022 tax years.

## Use ofEstimates

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. Such estimates primarily relate to transactions in process and events as ofthe date ofthe financialstatements. Accordingly, upon completion, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

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

#### 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") published Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASC 842"). This accounting standard applies to operating leases with a term greater than 12 months and requires lessees to recognize (i) their obligations to make lease payments as a liability (the "lease liability"), initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, and (ii) their ability to use the leased property as a corresponding asset (a "right-of-use asset"). The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and the Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach, which requires the Company to (i) apply the standard to leases in place as of the adoption date, (ii) record a cumulativeeffect adjustment to retained earnings as of the first day of the adoption year, and (iii) follow the new rules for all leases entered or modified going forward. In accordance with this approach, assets and liabilities for periods prior to January 1, 2019 will not be revised.

The core principle in the ASC 842 guidance is that a company should provide information necessary to understand its leasing activities including a comprehensive understanding of the costs of property essential to a company's operations and how those costs are funded including the recognition of assets and liabilities associated with leases.

Although the economic or legal characteristics of these leases are not altered, the impact on the presentation of assets and liabilities on financial statements may be material. Also, as a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and FINRA, the Company is subject to SEC Rule 15C3-1, the Net Capital rule, under which the lease asset would be recorded as a nonallowable asset and the associated liability would be recorded as aggregate indebtedness, both of which could have a materially negative effect on Net Capital computed under SEC Rule 15c3-1. On May 31, 2016, the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association ("SIFMA") requested relief from the SEC from the net capital impact of the lease capitalization required under ASC 842. On November 8, 2016, the SEC issued a "no action" letter permitting broker-dealers to add back to Net Capital the operating lease asset to the extent of the associated operating lease liability. If the value of the operating lease liability exceeds the value of the associated operating lease asset, the amount by which the liability's value exceeds the associated lease asset must be deducted for net capital purposes.

#### 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

#### Leases:

The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842, Leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception of a contract and when the terms of an existing contract are changed. The Company recognizes a lease liability and a right of use (ROU) asset at the commencement date of the lease. The lease liability is initially and subsequently recognized based on the present value of its future lease payments. Variable payments are included in the future lease payments when those variable payments depend on an index or a rate. The discount rate is the implicit rate if it is readily determinable or otherwise the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. The implicit rates of our leases are not readily determinable and accordingly, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date for all leases. The Company's incremental borrowing rate for leases is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms and in a similar economic environment. The ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the amount of the re-measured lease liability (i.e., present value of the remaining lease payments), plus unamortized initial direct costs, plus (minus) any period (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received, and any impairment recognized. Lease cost for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has elected, for all underlying classes of assets, to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement, and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The Company recognizes lease cost associated with short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The guidance provided by ASC 842 may not materially impact the Company's presentation of assets and liabilities, and the relief provided by the SEC "no action" letter substantially negates the effect of its application on the Company's Net Capital; however management notes changes to the disclosures based on the additional requirements prescribed by ASC 842. These disclosures include information regarding the judgments used in determining the present value of lease payments and the corresponding value of the right-of-use asset.

#### 3. Indemnification

The Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications for which the maximum exposure is unknown but for which management expects the risk of loss, if any, to be remote. The Company has no current claims or losses pursuant to such contracts.

{15}------------------------------------------------

#### 4. Net Capital Requirements

The Company is subject to the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-l), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2023, the Company had net capital of \$182,572 which was \$172,748 in excess of its required minimum net capital of \$9,824. The Company's percentage of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 81% at December 31, 2023. The Company claims an exemption from Rule 15c3-3 pursuant to Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(i) and therefore is not subject to the reserve requirements of Rule 15c3-3.

## 5. Related Party Transactions

The Company had entered into an Expense Sharing Agreement ("ESA") with its sole member, REVL Capital Group LLC (the "Member"). Certain employees of the Member provide services to the Company. Since May of 2017 the Member has agreed to pay certain operating costs attributable to the activities of the Company, including office rent, utilities, information technology infrastructure, printing fees, legal and compliance and telephone fees. The Member and the Company entered into a new ESA dated March 27, 2023. The agreement provides for the Company to reimburse the Member periodically for its share of operatingexpenses. The Agreement is perpetual until changed by the parties. The Member sends the Company invoices on a quarterly basis.

Total expenses under the expense sharing agreement were \$438,749 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

## 6. Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and money market funds. The Company maintains an account with one financial institution and thus has exposure to credit risk to the extent its cash exceeds the \$250,000 covered by federal deposit insurance.

#### 7. Subsequent Events

Events of the Company subsequent to December 31, 2023 have been evaluated through March 27, 2024, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for the purpose of identifying events that would require recording or disclosures in the financial statements in the year ended December 31, 2023. No subsequent events were identified that require disclosure.
