## Independent Auditor’s Report

VentureAide Capital, LLC

### Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements of VentureAide Capital, LLC, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively referred to as the 'financial statements').

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of VentureAide Capital, LLC as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ('PCAOB') and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

#### Supplemental Information

The Schedule I below has been subject to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of VentureAide Capital, LLC financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of VentureAide Capital, LLC’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the Schedule I reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the Schedule I. In forming our opinion on the Schedule I, we evaluated whether the Schedule I, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with C.F.R. 240.17a-5, or other criteria. In our opinion, the Schedule I is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Critical Audit Matters

A critical audit matter is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee or the Company's governance and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating a critical audit, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. We determined that there are no critical audit matters communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee.

# VentureAide Capital, LLC  
Notes to Financial Statements  
December 31, 2022

## NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

VentureAide Capital, LLC (the 'Company'), is registered as an introducing broker with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ('FINRA') and the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC'). The Company was approved for FINRA membership on December 7, 2020. The Company was formerly organized on December 12, 2019 in the state of Arizona pursuant to the Arizona Limited Liability Company Act. The Company is owned by a principal of the firm and the principal's spouse.

VentureAide Capital is a global, independent investment bank focused on creating value for middle-market businesses. The Company provides Mergers & Acquisitions and Capital Raise (equity and debt) advisory services for technology companies.

## NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

### Basis of presentation

The financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ('GAAP') as required by the SEC and FINRA.

### Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements.

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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

### Income Taxes

The Company is classified as a limited liability company and all taxes pass through to the members. The Company implemented ASC 740-10-65-1 for uncertain tax provisions. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.

### Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

### Revenue Recognition

The Company implemented ASC 606 for revenue recognition. The standard provides a comprehensive, industry-neutral revenue recognition model intended to increase financial statement comparability across various companies, aiming at recognizing revenue when the entity satisfied a certain performance obligation. The Company implemented the standard

# NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

in 2018. The scope of the services includes commission revenue recognized on a trade date basis and advisor fees and placement fees from fundraising activities.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Advisory Fees from Fundraising Activities and Investment Banking/Merger and Acquisition (M&A) Services - These services include agreements to provide advisory services to customers for which the Company charges the customers fees. The Company provides fundraising and investment banking/merger & acquisition advisory services.

The agreements with customers generally contain a non-refundable retainer or other form of upfront fee, as well as a success fee, which may be a fixed amount or represent a percentage of value that the customer receives, if and when the activity is completed ('success fee'). The retainer or other form of upfront fee often reduces any success fee subsequently invoiced upon the completion of the Company's services. The Company has evaluated its nonrefundable retainer or other form of upfront fee payments, to ensure that its fee relates to the transfer of a good or service, as a distinct performance obligation, in exchange for the retainer or other form of upfront fee. If a promised good or service is not distinct, the Company combines that good or service with other promised goods or services until it identifies a bundle of goods or services that is distinct or until completion of the Company's services. In some cases, that would result in the broker-dealer accounting for all the services promised in a contract as a single performance obligation and the retainer or other form of upfront fee classified as deferred revenue on the Statement of Financial Condition. As of December 31, 2022 the Company had no deferred revenue.

The Company is evaluating new accounting standards and will implement as required.

# NOTE 3 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions whose accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ('FDIC') up to statutory limits. The Company's cash balances may, at times, exceed statutory limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and management considers this to be a normal business risk. The Company received approximately 90% of its revenue from one customer.

# NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

There are no related party transactions.

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not

VentureAide Capital, LLC
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2022

NOTE 5 - NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (Continued)

exceed 15 to 1. The rule of the “applicable” exchange also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. At December 31, 2022, the Company had regulatory net capital of $23,761, which was $18,761 in excess of its required minimum of $5,000. The Company’s percent of aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was 5.05%.

The Company will not claim an exemption from SEA Rule 15c3.3 in reliance on footnote 74 in SEC Release 34.70073 and as discussed in Q&A 8 of the related FAQ issued by SEC staff. The Company has represented that it does not and will not (1) directly or indirectly receive, hold or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, (2) does not and will not carry accounts of or for customers and (3) does not and will not carry PAB accounts. The Company’s business activities are and will remain as described below.

- Engage in the following type of businesses:
  - Private placement of securities: and
  - Mergers and acquisitions advisory services.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company currently has no commitments and contingencies.

NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

The Company evaluated transaction occurring after the year ended December 31, 2022, through March 28, 2022, the date these financial statements were available for issuance.

# **Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

VentureAide Capital, LLC**

We have reviewed management’s statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report of Brokers and Dealers (“Exemption Report”) pursuant to SEC Rule 17a-5, in which broker-dealer did not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3, and is filing its Exemption Report relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 because broker-dealer limits its business activities exclusively to (1) effecting securities transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to broker-dealer, (2) receiving transaction-based compensation for identifying potential merger and acquisition opportunities for clients, and broker-dealer (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 to broker-dealer); (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 year without exception.

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 VentureAide Capital LLC’s compliance with the exemption provisions. 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 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 related to the Non-Covered Firm Provision.

## Exemption Report

## December 31, 2022

VentureAide 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. §240.17a-5, "Reports to be made by certain brokers and dealers"). This Exemption Report was prepared as required by 17

C.F.R. §240.17a-5(d)(1) and (4). To the best of its knowledge and belief, the Company states the following:

- 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. § 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to: (1) effecting securities transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company and (2) receiving transaction-based compensation for identifying potential merger and acquisition opportunities for clients.

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 to the Company); (2) did not carry accounts of or for customers; and did not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year.

I, Shubha Ukhāde, swear (or affirm) that, to my best knowledge and belief, this Exemption Report is true and correct.

Date

2 Footnote 74 of Release No. 34-70073 and the related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions contemplate a broker-dealer that: (1) does 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 to the Company); (2) does not carry accounts of or for customers; and (3) does not carry PAB accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year. A broker-dealer that has one or more deviations from the practices described in Footnote 74 and the SEC Staff FAQs should consider whether it is appropriate for the broker-dealer to file a compliance report as opposed to an exemption report taking into account the nature and extent of the deviation or deviation.
