**Notes to the Financial Statement**---

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

# **Organization and Nature of Business**

Seaport Global Securities LLC (Seaport) (the Company), is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company was formed under the Limited Liability Company laws of the State of Delaware on May 4, 2001 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Seaport Global Holdings LLC (Parent).

The Company is a full service, mid-sized investment bank that offers capital markets advisory, sales, trading and research services across the credit-risk spectrum. The Company pairs extensive knowledge and relationships in energy, industrials, shipping and chemicals/refining industries, with equity and fixed income sales, trading and research. The Company also offers investment banking services including underwriting of newly-issued equity securities and mergers, acquisitions and restructuring advisory services. The existing client base consists of large institutions and funds that manage in excess of $100 million.

# **Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles 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.

# **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

The Company defines cash equivalents for cash flow purposes as highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of less than ninety days that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business.

# **Deposits with Clearing Organizations**

Certain exchange and/or clearing organizations require cash and/or securities to be deposited by us to conduct day-to-day activities.

# **Receivables from Clearing and Depository Organizations**

Receivables from clearing and depository organizations represent uncollected commissions and fees due from other brokers.

# **Accounts Receivable**

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount. Management determines if an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. As of December 31, 2022 the allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $12,428.

# **Prepaid Expenses**

Prepaid expense are expenditures that have been paid in advance. Prepaid expenses are recorded as an asset and expensed as the benefits of the assets are realized.

**Notes to the Financial Statement**---

# **Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)**

# **Revenue Recognition**

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification 606, (“ASC” 606) Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The accounting policies are stated below.

*Principal Transactions.* Gains and losses from proprietary securities transactions, and the related revenues and expenses, are recorded on a trade date basis. Securities owned, held at clearing broker and securities sold, not yet purchased, are valued at market with related unrealized gains and losses included in income.

*Commissions.* Securities transactions and related commission revenues and expenses are recorded and recognized on a trade date basis as securities transactions occur. In addition, certain customers have a soft dollar arrangement whereby a third party allocates a portion of their gross commissions to pay for research products and services. The Company acts as an agent in these soft dollars arrangements and the revenues are accounted for on the accrual basis of accounting and included in commissions.

*Underwriting Fees.* Investment banking revenues include fees from securities offerings in which the Company acts as a principal. Capital markets services include underwriting and placement agent services in both the equity and debt capital markets, including private equity placements, initial public offerings, and follow-on offerings. Underwriting and placement fees are recognized at a point in time on a trade date basis as the client obtains control and benefit of the capital markets offering at that point.

*Advisory Income.* Investment banking advisory fees from mergers and acquisitions engagements are recognized at a point in time when the transaction is completed. Advisory income from restructuring engagements are recognized over time using a time elapsed measure of progress as the customer receives and consumes the benefit of the services. A significant portion of our advisory services fees are considered variable as they are contingent upon a future event and are excluded from the transaction price until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, which is expected to occur upon achievement of the specified milestone. Costs associated with advisory engagements are expensed as incurred and recorded on a gross basis within the applicable expense category on the Statement of Operations and any expenses reimbursed by the client are recognized in Advisory Income on the Statement of Operations.

*Interest and Dividend Income.* The Company records net interest and dividend income on Securities Owned, held at clearing broker and Securities Sold, Not Yet Purchased, as it is received or paid.

*Underwriting Costs.* Costs associated with underwritings are recognized on a gross basis in Underwriting Costs on the Statement of Operations at the time the related revenue is recorded. Any expenses reimbursed by the client are recognized in Underwriting Costs on the Statement of Operations.

**Notes to the Financial Statement**---

# **Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)**

# **Income Taxes**

The Company is a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. Under this election, taxable income or loss of the Company flows to the parent and is included in the tax returns of the parent.

# **Risks and Uncertainties**

The Company is responsible for any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense incurred or sustained by the clearing agents as a result of the failure of any introduced account to make timely payment for securities purchased or timely and good delivery of securities sold. To date no such claims have been asserted, nor have such expenses been incurred.

The Company invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term, and that such changes could materially affect the Company's balances and the amounts reported in the Statement of Financial Condition.

Securities not readily marketable include private equity, investment securities (a) for which there is no market on a securities exchange or no independent publicly quoted market, (b) that cannot be publicly offered or sold unless registration has been effected under the Securities Act of 1933, or (c) that cannot be offered or sold because of other arrangements, restrictions, or conditions applicable to the securities or the Company.

The Company had amounts on deposit at a bank at December 31, 2022 of $2,853,867, which exceed the $250,000 federally insured limits by $2,603,867. Additionally, the Company had amounts on deposit at the brokerage firms of $44,198,021, which exceed the $250,000 securities investor protection limits by $43,213,941. The Company monitors cash balances, and the quality of the six institutions that it utilizes, on an ongoing and continuous basis to manage its risk with respect to cash.

The Company is engaged in various trading and brokerage activities in which counterparties primarily include broker-dealers, banks, and other financial institutions. In the event counterparties do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to risk. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the instrument. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each counterparty.

# **Future Accounting Standards**

# *Financial Instruments - Credit Losses*

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, ('ASU 2016-13'). ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted for a fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year.

Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We will adopt the new standard in 2023. We have evaluated the impact of this standard on our financial statements, including accounting policies, processes and systems. Based on the nature of the Company's customer base and historical nature of losses, we do not expect the impact to be material upon adoption.

# **Note 2. Receivables from Clearing and Depository Organizations**

The Company's receivables from its clearing and depository organizations includes amounts receivable from unsettled trades, including amounts related to futures and options on futures contracts executed on behalf of customers, amounts receivable for securities failed to deliver, accrued interest receivables and cash deposits. The Company's trades and contracts are cleared through clearing organizations and settled daily between the clearing organizations and the Company. Because of this daily settlement, the amount of unsettled credit exposures is limited to the amount owed the Company for a very short period of time. The Company continually reviews the credit quality of its counterparties.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company was due through its clearing and depository organizations approximately $42,971,988. The Company clears certain of its proprietary and customer transactions through broker-dealers on a fully disclosed basis.

# **Note 3. Deposits with Clearing Organizations**

The Company maintains clearing agreements with three broker dealers requiring deposits of $1,200,000. Deposits of $500,000 are held in an interest bearing account and deposits of $700,000 do not carry interest as required by the agreements. Amounts held on deposit are restricted from use until the agreements are terminated.

**SEAPORT GLOBAL SECURITIES LLC**
**Notes to the Financial Statement**

**Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

The Company's financial assets and liabilities are carried at fair value or are carried at amounts which approximate fair value if the market value of such items is not materially sensitive to shifts in market interest rates due to the limited term to maturity of these instruments. Security positions resulting from proprietary trading are measured at fair value. Any unrealized gains or losses resulting from marking these instruments to fair value are included in profit or loss. Net unrealized gains and losses on securities held as of December 31, 2022 amount to a gain of approximately $4,459,090.

The fair value of fixed-income securities owned that were purchased at a discount or premium comprises accreted interest income, changes in the fair value of securities, or both.

The Company defines fair value, under the authoritative standards which establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is 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. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by the standards are used to measure fair value.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

- Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
- Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
- Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
- Inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability, and in certain cases, rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The unobservable inputs should be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.

7

SEAPORT GLOBAL SECURITIES LLC
Notes to the Financial Statement

**Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)**

The asset or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the unobservable inputs.

The following is a description of the valuation methods used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methods used at December 31, 2022.

- **US government securities:** Valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded.
- **Corporate bonds:** Certain corporate bonds are valued at the closing price reported in the active markets in which the bond is traded. Other corporate bonds are valued based upon yields currently available on comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings. Additionally certain bonds are estimated using recently executed transactions, market quotations (where observable), or bond spreads. If the spread data does not reference the issuer, then data that references a comparable issuer is used. When observable price quotations are not available, fair value is determined by the Company by evaluating prices and indexes. Corporate bonds are generally categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. In instances where significant inputs are unobservable, they are categorized as Level 3.
- **Equity Securities:** Certain equity securities are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded. Investments in certain restricted equity securities are valued at the quoted market price of the issuer's unrestricted equity securities, less an appropriate discount. If a quoted market price for unrestricted equity securities of the issuer is not available, restricted equity security is valued at a multiple of current earnings less an appropriate discount. The multiple chosen is consistent with multiples of similar companies based on current market prices.
- **Options:** The market value is based on the closing price of the security as provided by the exchange or Options Clearing Corporation.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Additionally, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methods or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
