#### Notes to Financial Statements

#### **1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:**

**Nature of Business:** Folla Capital LLC is a North Carolina based Limited Liability Company engaged in the business of assisting Companies prepare for and raise capital under various provisions of the JOBS Act of 2012.

Effective November 5, 2020, the Company became a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA").

**Basis of Accounting:** The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

**Going Concern and Liquidity:** The Company does not have sufficient liquidity to meet its anticipated obligations over the next year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. In connection with the Company's assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB's Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 201-15, "Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern," management has determined that the Company has access to funds from the Members that are sufficient to fund the working capital needs of the Company through one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements.

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

**Risks and Uncertainties:** Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and receivables from customers. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in broker-dealers and banks offering protection for cash by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC") or Federal Depository Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to \$250,000.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents:** The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2023 the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.

**Fair Value of Financial Instruments:** The Company follows FASB guidance with respect to fair value measurements. This guidance provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, for all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (see Note 2).

**Allowance for Credit Losses:** The Company follows ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). ASC 326 impacts the impairment model for certain assets measured at amortized cost by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses

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

#### Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

#### **1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued**

#### **Allowance for Credit Losses, Continued:**

over the entire life of the financial asset, recorded at inception or purchase. The Company records the estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance for credit losses. For financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis, the allowance for credit losses is reported as a valuation account on the statement of financial condition that is deducted from the asset's amortized cost basis. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported in credit loss expense.

The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments carried at amortized cost, including fees receivable utilizing 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's expectation is that credit risk associated with fees receivable is not significant until they are 90 days past due on the contractual arrangement and expectation of collection in accordance with industry standards. Management does not believe that an allowance is required as of December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2023 credit losses totaled \$4,500.

**Concentrations**: The Company maintains it cash balance in one financial institution. The Company does not consider itself to be at risk with respect to its cash. The Company earned 73% of its revenues from 3 customers.

#### **Revenue Recognition:**

The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

*Consulting Fees:* The Company provides marketing and business consulting services to customers. Consulting fees are billed monthly and the Company believes the performance obligation for providing advisory services is satisfied over time because the customer is receiving and consuming the benefits as they are provided by the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company earned consulting fee income of \$82,000.

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

Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

#### **1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued**

#### **Revenue Recognition, Continued:**

*Success Fee Income:* The Company also earns revenue through securing investors to purchase equity securities and other financial instruments for their customers. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon closing of the equity raise. Revenue is recognized at the point in time upon transfer of the financial instruments to the purchaser. For the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company earned success fee income of \$55,918.

*Private Placement Fees:* The Company provides advisory services in raising capital. Revenue earned for successful closings of raising capital are recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction). For the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company did not earn any private placement fees.

The Company had outstanding receivables on December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023 of \$14,852 and \$22,500, respectively. The Company had no contract assets or liabilities on December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023.

Disaggregation can be found on statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

**Income Taxes:** The Company has elected to be treated as a partnership under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides that the members are taxed on the Company's taxable income or loss. Similar provisions apply for state and local income tax reporting. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is provided in the accompanying financial statements.

**Income Tax Uncertainties:** The Company follows the FASB guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained "when challenged" or "when examined" by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense and liability in the current year. Management has evaluated the Company's tax positions and concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance as of December 31, 2022. The Company is not currently under audit by any tax jurisdiction.

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

#### Notes to Financial Statements, Continued

#### **2. Indemnifications:**

The Company has certain obligations to indemnify its managers and officers for certain events or occurrences while the manager or officers are, or were, serving at the Company's request in such capacities. The maximum liability under these obligations is limited by the Code of North Carolina; however, the Company's insurance policies serve to further limit its exposure.

#### **3. Regulatory Requirements:**

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net CapitalRule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requiresthat the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 12.5 to 1. On December 31, 2023, the Company had net capital of \$ 10,947 which was \$ 5,947 in excess of required minimum net capital of \$ 5,000. The Company's net capital ratio was 38.12%.

The Company does not handle cash or securities on behalf of customers and accordingly has no obligation under SEC Rule 15c3-3.

#### **4. Subsequent Events:**

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this report and has determined there have been no events that have occurred that would require adjustments to or disclosures in the financial statements.

#### **5. Related Party Transactions:**

On December 31, 2023 a Member of the Company was owed \$971 for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company. The 2023 amount was paid as of the date of this report.

The Company leases office space from a Member of the Company on a month-to-month basis. The monthly rent is \$1,400 and totaled \$16,800 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company compensates its members in the form of Guaranteed Payments. Guaranteed Payments totaled \$45,070 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

## **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

### **The Board of Directors of Folla Capital, LLC**

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying SEC Rule 15c3-3 Exemption Report, in which Folla Capital, LLC (the "Company") stated that the Company's business activities are limited to providing mergers and acquisitions and private placements of securities and that it has not held customer funds or securities and that the Company is classified as "non-covered" pursuant to footnote 74 to SEC Release 34-70073, dated July 30, 2013, and as discussed in Q & A 6 of the related FAQ issued by SEC state on April 4, 2014. The Company also stated that it had maintained compliance with the above declaration throughout the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, without exception. The Company's management is responsible for compliance and is not subject to the provisions set forth in Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and its statements.

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 the Company's declaration concerning the provisions set forth in Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

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 Footnote 74 to SEC Release 34-70073.

### **Exemption Report**

Folla Capital LLC (the Company) is a registered broker-dealer subject to Rule 17a-5 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (17 C.F.R. Section 240.17a-5, "Reports to be made by certain brokers and dealers"). This Exemption Report was prepared as required by 17 C.F.R. Section 240 17a-5(d)(1) and (4). To the best of my knowledge and belief, the Company states the following:

- (1) The Company does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. Section 240.15c3-3, and
- (2) The Company is filing this Exemption Report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. section 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to: (1) effecting securities transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company; (2) receiving transaction-based compensation for identifying potential merger and acquisition opportunities for clients, referring securities transactions to other broker-dealers, or providing technology or platform services, and the Company (1) did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, (other than money or other consideration received and promptly transmitted in compliance with paragraph (a) or (b) (2) of Rule 15c2-4 and/or funds received and promptly transmitted for effecting transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not the Company); (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal period without exception.

I, Folla Capital LLC, swear (or affirm) that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, this Exemption Report is true and correct.
