We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Chickasaw Securities, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chickasaw Capital Management, LLC, as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations, changes in member’s equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chickasaw Securities, LLC as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

### **Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of Chickasaw Securities, LLC’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Chickasaw Securities, LLC’s financial statements based on our audit.

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 include 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.

# **CHICKASAW SECURITIES, LLC**  
**(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Chickasaw Capital Management, LLC)**

*Notes to the Financial Statements*

*December 31, 2022*

# **Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business**

Chickasaw Securities, LLC (the “Company”) is a limited liability company formed on October 1, 2003 under Delaware law. The Company is a fully disclosed broker-dealer of investment securities with operations beginning on March 1, 2004. Primarily, the Company is a retail broker, and serves individual and institutional clients in a multi-state area. Since the Company is a fully disclosed broker-dealer, all of its transactions are cleared through a clearing firm. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chickasaw Capital Management, LLC.

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

# *Net Capital Requirements*

Pursuant to the net capital requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company is required to maintain a minimum net capital of $50,000 as defined in the rules and regulations. The rule prohibits a broker-dealer from allowing its aggregate indebtedness to exceed fifteen times its net capital. In addition, the Company may not allow withdrawal of equity capital if its aggregate indebtedness exceeds ten times its net capital as defined under the rule. At December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of $152,210 after all required deductions and a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital of 0.0004 to 1 at December 31, 2022.

# *Clearing Arrangement*

All customer accounts, other than certain mutual funds, are carried with National Financial Services, LLC (NFS), a member of the New York Stock Exchange. The Company’s commissions are collected by NFS, as the Company’s clearing firm. The clearing firm remits the commissions, net of clearing charges, to the Company on a monthly basis, in the month following the date of the transactions.

# *Customer Transactions*

The Company does not hold any securities in safekeeping for its clients.

# *Cash Equivalents*

Cash equivalents include short term, highly liquid investments having original maturities of three months or less that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash or are so near to maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates.

**(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Chickasaw Capital Management, LLC)**

*Notes to the Financial Statements*

*December 31, 2022*

# **Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

# *Deposits with Clearing Organization*

Included in cash and cash equivalents is a special deposit account that NFS requires the Company to maintain on deposit with a minimum of $100,000 in cash or equivalent. This deposit is maintained in a separate account. At December 31, 2022, the balance in this special deposit account amounted to $114,208.

# *Income Taxes*

The Company is included in the consolidated federal partnership return of income of Chickasaw Capital Management, LLC, and is not subject, as an entity, to the payment of federal income taxes. The Company does file a separate Tennessee Franchise and Excise Tax Return and is subject to Tennessee franchise and excise taxes.

The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2019 - 2021), or expected to be taken in the Company’s 2022 tax returns. The Company identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and Tennessee State; however the Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

# *Estimates*

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

**(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Chickasaw Capital Management, LLC)**

*Notes to the Financial Statements*

*December 31, 2022*

# **Note 3 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers**

# *Significant Judgments*

Revenue from contracts with customers consists entirely of commission income. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company’s progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

# *Brokerage Commissions*

The Company buys and sells securities on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into a buy or sell transaction, the Company charges a commission. Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date (the date that the Company fills the trade order by finding and contracting with a counterparty and confirms the trade with the customer). The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer.

# *Distribution fees*

The Company enters into arrangements with managed accounts or other pooled investment vehicles (funds) to distribute shares to investors. The Company may receive distribution fees paid by the fund up front, over time, upon the investor’s exit from the fund (that is, a contingent deferred sales charge), or as a combination thereof. The Company believes that its performance obligation is the sale of securities to investors and as such this is fulfilled on the trade date. Any fixed amounts are recognized on the trade date and variable amounts are recognized to the extent it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. For variable amounts, as the uncertainty is dependent on the value of the shares at future points in time as well as the length of time the investor remains in the fund, both of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company’s influence, the Company does not believe that it can overcome this constraint until the market value of the fund and the investor activities are known, which are usually monthly or quarterly. Distribution fees recognized in the current period are primarily related to performance obligations that have been satisfied in prior periods on Fidelity money market funds.

**(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Chickasaw Capital Management, LLC)**

*Notes to the Financial Statements*

*December 31, 2022*

# **Note 4 - Related Party Transactions**

The Company has a service agreement with its parent, Chickasaw Capital Management, LLC (CCM), whereby CCM provides administrative, office and management services for the Company. In exchange for these services, the Company pays a monthly service fee of $1,000 to CCM plus 90% of the monthly net operating income of the Company as defined by the agreement. The monthly service fee calculation can result in a balance due from CCM when the Company incurs a loss for a particular month. The balance due from CCM is applied against service fees incurred in future periods.

Service fee expense/(income) for the year ended December 31, 2022 amounted to ($60,882). In addition, the Company had a balance due from CCM of $138,707 as of December 31, 2022. The balance due is considered a nonallowable asset for purposes of the net capital calculation.

Additionally, during the year CCM made a capital contribution to the Company of $50,000.

# **Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies**

The Company executes securities transactions on behalf of its customers. If a customer or counterparty fails to perform, the Company may be required to satisfy the obligation of the nonperforming party which may result in a loss. The Company does not expect nonperformance by customers or counterparties.

Broker-dealers operate in a heavily regulated environment and are subject to regular reviews and inspections by regulatory authorities and self-regulatory organizations. The reviews can result in the imposition of sanctions for regulatory violations, ranging from non-monetary censures to fines and, in serious cases, temporary or permanent suspension from conducting business or certain business activities. Regulatory agencies and self-regulatory organizations may also institute investigations into industry practices, which can result in the imposition of sanctions as well.

The Company is not aware of any claims against it as of December 31, 2022 and has not recognized any commitments, loss contingencies or guarantees as financial statement liabilities, reductions of net worth in its net capital computation, or as components of aggregate indebtedness as of December 31, 2022.

# **Note 6 - Subsequent Events**

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through February 22, 2023, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There were no subsequent events that need disclosure.

To the Member
Chickasaw Securities, LLC
Memphis, Tennessee

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which Chickasaw Securities, LLC identified the following provision of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which Chickasaw Securities, LLC claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3: (k)(2)(ii) (the "exemption provision") and (2) Chickasaw Securities, LLC stated that Chickasaw Securities, LLC met the identified exemption provision throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. Chickasaw Securities, 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 Chickasaw Securities, 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 paragraph (k)(2)(ii), of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
