### PACIFIC COAST CAPITAL, LLC Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2022

### **Note 1: Organization**

Pacific Coast Capital, LLC (the "Company") was organized in the State of Oregon on March 15, 2019. On April 10, 2020, the Company became registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15(b) of The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ["FINRA"] and the Security Investor Protection Corporation ["SIPC"].

The Company acts primarily as a mergers and acquisitions broker-dealer.

The Company does not claim an exemption under Paragraph (k) of SEC Rule 15c3-3. The Company is a Non-Covered firm that relies on Footnote 74 to SEC Release No. 34-70073. The Company does not hold or carry customer funds or securities.

### **Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

#### **Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company uses accrual method of accounting.

### **Use of estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with **GAAP** requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

#### **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31 , 2022, the Company had a cash balance of \$467,218.

#### **Revenue Recognition**

The company receives fees in accordance with terms stipulated in its engagement contracts. Fees are recognized as earned. The Company also receives success fees when transactions are completed. Success fees are recognized when earned, which means the Company has no further continuing obligations and collection is reasonably assured. Retainer fees that are not subject to refund are recognized when received subject to the terms of engagement.

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

### PACIFIC COAST CAPITAL, LLC Notes to Financial Statements December 31 , 2022

### **Revenue Recognition (Continued)**

### A. Significant accounting policy

Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales incentives and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfied a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer.

Taxes and regulatory fees assessed by a government authority or agency that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specified revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.

#### B. Nature of services

Fees earned: This includes fees earned from affiliated ent1t1es; investment banking fees, M&A advisory; account supervision and investment advisory fees; administrative fees, revenue from research services; rebates from exchanges/ECN and A TS; l 2b-l fees; Mutual fund fees other than concessions or l 2b- l fees; execution service fees; clearing services; fees earned from customer bank sweep into FDIC insured products or from '40Act companies and networking fees from '40 Act companies.

C. Changes in Accounting Policy:

The Company adopted Topic 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" when **it** was formed.

The Company provides advisory services on mergers and acquisitions **(M&A).** Revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that perfmmance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction) or the contract is cancelled. However, for certain contracts, revenue is recognized over timer for advisory arrangements in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. In some circumstances, significant judgment is needed to detennine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract. Retainers and other fees received from customers prior to recognizing revenue are reflected as contract liabilities. At December 31, 2022, the Company maintains that no such contract liabilities existed nor were there any circumstances whereby significant judgement was needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract.

### **Professional fees**

As of December 31, 2022, the Company paid \$18,876 in professional fees, which included legal, accounting, analysis, and consulting services.

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

### PACIFIC COAST CAPITAL, LLC Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2022

#### **Note 3: Securities owned**

As of the statement of financial condition date the Company does not own any corporate stocks or debt instruments.

#### **Note 4: Income taxes**

The Company is registered to conduct business in California. For tax purposes the Company is treated like a partnership, therefore in lieu of business income taxes for Federal and State income tax, all income or loss "flows through" to the member's individual income tax returns. However, provisions are made for the State of California's annual minimum tax and LLC fees that are reflected in these financial statements. As the tax obligations are passed through to its members, any audit or review considerations related to Internal Revenue Under section 6501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (Tax Code) and section 301.6501(a)-l(a) of the Income Tax Regulations (Tax Regulations), the IRS is required to assess tax within 3 years after the tax return was filed with the IRS. Service assessments and statute of limitations thereof are borne by the Company's members.

#### **Note 5: Fair Value**

The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards ("SF AS") ASC 820 Measurements and Disclosures, for assets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The ASC 820 had no effect on the Company's financial. ASC 820 accomplishes the following key objectives:

- Defines fair value as 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;
- Establishes a three-level hierarchy (the "Valuation Hierarchy") for fair value measurements;
- Requires consideration of the Company's creditworthiness when valuing liabilities; and expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value.

The Valuation Hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument's categorization within the Valuation Hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the Valuation Hierarchy and the distribution of the Company's financial assets within it are as follows:

Level l - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

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

### PACIFIC COAST CAPITAL, LLC Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2022

### **Note 5: Fair Value Continued**

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology included quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the

> asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the statement of financial condition, which approximate fair value due to their short-term highly liquid nature. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and deferred revenue.

#### **Note 6: Net capital requirements**

Pursuant to the Basic Uniform Net Capital prov1s1ons of the Securities and Exchanges Commission, the Company is required to maintain a minimum net capital, as defined, in such provision. Further, the provisions require that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness, as defined, to net capital shall not exceed 15 to 1. Net capital and the related net capital ratio may fluctuate on <sup>a</sup> daily basis. At December 31, 2022 the Company had net capital and net capital requirements of \$467,111 and \$5,000 respectively. The Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was .0002 to 1 which is less than 15: l.

#### **Note** 7: **Related party transactions**

During the year ended December 31, 2022, an affiliated company paid expenses on behalf of the Company. Total expenses paid at December 31, 2022 was \$104,960.

During the year ended December 3 I, 2022, the Company paid \$10,000 to the affiliated company for these services.

#### **Note 8: Subsequent Events**

Management has evaluated subsequent events through March 15, 2023, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued.
