# Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of results.

# Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain 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 and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates, and these differences could be material.

# Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company maintains cash deposits with a financial institution. At times, these balances may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). The Company did not have cash balances as of December 31, 2022 that were in excess of the FDIC insured limits. There were no restrictions placed on the Company's cash deposits at December 31, 2022, nor at any point during the twelve-months ended December 31, 2022. The Company defines Cash and Cash Equivalents as highly liquid instruments with original maturities of less than 90 days.

# Service Fees Receivable and Due from Affiliates

The Company records service fee receivables by providing services to various funds managed and advised by, it's affiliate, Hatteras Funds. As provided in the fund servicing agreements, the Company will assist with investor communications, maintenance of fund records, and provide various other services related to the funds' operations.

# Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, "ASC 606"), which creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope. Revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over goods or service to a customer. Services within the scope of ASC 606 include, Fund Servicing Agreements and a 12b-1 Plan.

Refer to Revenue Recognition Note: Revenue from Contracts with Customers for further discussion on the Company's accounting policies for revenue sources within the scope of ASC 606.

# Revenue from Contracts with Customers:

# Fund Servicing Agreements and Concentrations:

The Company recognizes revenue generally when it is earned and realized or realizable, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company earns all of its service fees by providing fund services to the various Hatteras Funds (the "Funds") through Fund Servicing Agreements. Service fees are calculated monthly or quarterly, as applicable, as a percentage of the aggregate net assets of the Funds, which is reported by each fund's administrator.

# Expenses

The Company recognizes expenses in its Statement of Income as expenses are incurred. The Company is party to a written expense sharing agreement with Hatteras Funds, with whom the Company shares office facilities. The expense sharing agreement results in the Company incurring certain expenses within its Statement of Income based upon a percentage of time, space and equipment used by Hatteras Funds in conducting activities of the Company. The Company and Hatteras Funds review the specific expense sharing percentages and estimates included within the expense sharing agreement annually to ensure such expense sharing percentages and estimates remain reasonable. No changes in those expense sharing percentages and estimates have occurred throughout 2022.

# Income Taxes

The Company is a single member limited liability company that is treated as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. As a result of the Company's designation as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes, no income taxes have been recognized within the Company's financial statements.

The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740-10 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC 740-10, the Company is required to evaluate each of its tax position to determine if they are more likely than not to be sustained if the taxing authority examines the respective position. A tax position includes an entity's status and the decision not to file a return. The Company has evaluated each of its tax positions and has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions for which a provision or liability for income taxes is necessary.

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

# REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Member of

Hatteras Capital Distributors, LLC

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Rule 15c3-3 Exemption Report pursuant to SEC Rule 17a-5, in which (1) Hatteras Capital Distributors, LLC (the Company) did not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17C.F.R. §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. § 240.17a-5 because the Company limits its business activities exclusively to include participating in distributions of securities (other than firm commitment underwritings) in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs (a) or (b)(2) of Rule 15c2-4.

In addition, the Company 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; 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 without exception.

Hatteras Capital Distributors, LLC's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions 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 Hatteras Capital Distributors, 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 upon the Company's business activities contemplated by Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5, and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions.

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 Firm states the following:

The Firm does not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3; and the Firm is filing this Exemption Report in reliance on Footnote 74 to SEC Release 34-70073 and as discussed in Q&A 8 of the related FAQ issued by SEC staff. The Firm has no obligation under SEC Rule 15c3-3 because it does not directly or indirectly receive, hold or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers; does not carry accounts of or for customers; and does not carry PAB accounts. The Firm conducts business activities involving; distributor or wholesaler of investment company products (i.e., mutual funds); distributor or wholesaler of tax shelters and limited partnerships in primary and secondary markets; distributor or wholesaler of private placements of securities (including hedge funds); underwriter or selling group participant of best efforts offerings; and maintain only institutional customers' and other broker/dealer' accounts. We do not accept customer funds or securities and will not have possession of any customer funds or securities in connection with our activities.

The Firm had no exceptions to the provision identified above throughout the most recent fiscal year.

Management of Hatteras Capital Distributors, LLC (the Company) is responsible for its Form SIPC-7 and for its compliance with the applicable instructions on Form SIPC-7.

Management of the Company has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate to meet the intended purpose of assisting you and SIPC in evaluating the Company's compliance with the applicable instructions on Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, SIPC has agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for their intended purpose. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose. The procedures performed may not address all the items of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of those parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose. The procedures we performed and our associated findings are as follows:

1) Compared the listed assessment payments in Form SIPC-7 with respective cash disbursement records entries, noting no differences;
2) Compared the Total Revenue amounts reported on the Annual Audited Report Form X-17A-5 Part III for the year ended December 31, 2022 with the Total Revenue amount reported in Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2022, noting no differences;
3) Compared any adjustments reported in Form SIPC-7 with supporting schedules and working papers, noting no differences;
4) Recalculated the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations reflected in Form SIPC-7 and in the related schedules and working papers supporting the adjustments, noting no differences; and
5) Compared the amount of any overpayment applied to the current assessment with the Form SIPC-7 on which it was originally computed, noting no differences.

We were engaged by the Company to perform this agreed-upon procedures engagement and conducted our engagement in accordance with attestation standards established by the AICPA and in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). We were not engaged to and did not conduct an examination or a review engagement, the objective of which would be the expression of an opinion or conclusion, respectively, on the Company's Form SIPC-7 and for its compliance with the applicable instructions on Form SIPC-7 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion or conclusion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.

We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements related to our agreed-upon procedures engagement.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of Hatteras Capital Distributors, LLC and the SIPC and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
