## REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Member of RHCA SECURITIES, LLC

### Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of RHCA SECURITIES, LLC as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations and 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 RHCA 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 RHCA SECURITIES, LLC’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on RHCA SECURITIES, LLC’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 RHCA SECURITIES, LLC 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.

### Auditor’s Report on Supplemental Information

The Computation of Net Capital under SEC Rule 15c3-1, Computation for Determination of Reserve Requirements and Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements Pursuant to Rule 15c3-3 and Information Relating to the Possession or Control Requirements under Rule 15c3-3 (the “supplemental information”) has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of RHCA SECURITIES, LLC’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of RHCA SECURITIES, LLC’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information 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 supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

# **RHCA SECURITIES, LLC**  
**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**---

# **1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS**

RHCA Securities, LLC (the “Company”) was formed as a Limited Liability Company in Texas in 2014. The Company is a broker-dealer in securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The Company’s office is located in Houston, Texas. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rock House Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Parent”). The Company is engaged to provide merger, acquisition, divestiture and advisory services to emerging growth and middle market companies. The Company will also provide assistance in raising debt and equity capital through the private placement of securities.

# **2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

# Basis of Presentation

The accounting policies and reporting practices of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to the predominant practices in the broker-dealer industry.

# Revenue Recognition

The new revenue standard’s core principle is that the Company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new revenue standard requires entities to recognize revenue through the application of a five-step model, which includes: identification of the contract; identification of the performance obligations; determination of the transaction price; allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and recognition of revenue as the entity satisfies the performance obligations.

Transaction fees resulting from investment banking activities are recorded at closing of the transaction which is when the performance obligation is met. Subsequent contingent fees are recorded upon the occurrence of additional funding related to the original transaction and the income is reasonably determinable.

# Cash

Cash, for purposes of the statement of cash flows, includes cash in a bank checking account.

# Accounts Receivable

The Company evaluates the collectability of its receivables and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts as of the balance sheet date based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other available evidence.

# Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the 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.

# Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash, prepaid expenses and payables are short-term in nature and accordingly are reported in the statement of financial condition at fair value or carrying amounts that approximate fair value.

5

#### Income Tax

The Company is treated as a flow-through entity for income tax purposes. As a result, the net taxable income of the Company and any related tax credits, for federal income tax purposes, are deemed to pass to the Parent and are included in the Parent's members' personal tax returns even though such net taxable income or tax credits may not actually have been distributed. Accordingly, no tax provision has been made in the financial statements since the income tax is a personal obligation of the individual members of the Parent. The Company is subject to state income tax. The Company has no provision for estimated Texas margin taxes for the year ended December 31, 2022.

#### Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

#### Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all transactions from December 31, 2022 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration. No reportable events were noted.

### **3. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (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 exceed 15 to 1 (and the rule of the 'applicable' exchange also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1). At December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of $6,945 which was $1,945 in excess of its required net capital of $5,000. The Company's net capital ratio was .01 to 1 at December 31, 2022.

### **4. LIABILITIES SUBORDINATED TO CLAIMS OF GENERAL CREDITORS**

During the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no subordinated liabilities to the claims of general creditors. Accordingly, a statement of changes in liabilities subordinated to claims of general creditors has not been included in these financial statements.

### **5. SIPC SUPPLEMENTAL REPORTING**

The Company is exempt from the filing of the SIPC Supplemental Report as net operating revenues are less than $500,000.

### **6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT 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 counter-party. The Company's financial instruments that are subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash. The Company places its cash with one high credit quality institution. At times, such cash may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. The Company believes that it is not exposed to any significant risk related to cash.

6

## **7. CONTINGENCIES**

In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company may be subjected to loss contingencies arising from lawsuits. Management believes that the outcome of such matters, if any, will not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of future operations.

## **8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company pays the Parent a monthly common sharing cost allocation fee. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred allocation fees from the Parent of $9,432, which was reflected in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations and changes in member's equity. The existence of this association creates operating results and a financial position significantly different than if the companies were autonomous. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has a receivable from the Parent of $28,700 for a short-term advance.

# **RHCA SECURITIES, LLC**

# **SCHEDULE I  
COMPUTATION OF NET CAPITAL UNDER SEC RULE 15C3-1  
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2022**

| Less nonallowable assets | $ | 37,936 |

| Ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital |  | .01 to 1 |

No material differences existed between the audited computation of net capital pursuant to Rule 15c3-1 as of December 31, 2022, and the corresponding unaudited Part IIA of the FOCUS Report / Form X-17A-5 filed by RHCA Securities, LLC.

# REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Member of RHCA SECURITIES, 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) RHCA SECURITIES, LLC (the Company) did not claim an exemption under paragraph (k) of 17 C.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 the private placement of securities and mergers and acquisitions advisory services. 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.

RHCA 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 RHCA 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 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.
