RCS Capital Corporation

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and
for the Year Ended December 31, 2013

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations have been prepared through the application of Pro Forma adjustments to the historical Statement of Operations of RCS Capital Corporation (the “Company” or “RCS Capital”) reflecting the recent acquisitions and the related financing, as detailed below. The Company completed the acquisition of Cetera Financial Holdings, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Cetera”); Summit Financial Services Group, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Summit”); JP Turner & Company, LLC and JP Turner & Company Capital Management, LLC (collectively; “JP Turner”); First Allied Holdings Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“First Allied”); Hatteras Investment Partners LLC, Hatteras Investment Management LLC, Hatteras Capital Investment Management, LLC, Hatteras Alternative Mutual Funds LLC, and Hatteras Capital Investment Partners, LLC together with their respective consolidated subsidiaries (“Hatteras”); Investors Capital Holdings, Ltd. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“ICH”); and Validus/Strategic Capital Partners, LLC., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Strategic Capital”), which closed on April 29, 2014; June 11, 2014; June 12, 2014, June 30, 2014, June 30, 2014, July 11, 2014, and August 29, 2014, respectively. Cetera, Summit, JP Turner, First Allied, Hatteras, ICH and Strategic Capital are collectively referred to as the “Completed Acquisitions”. The Company’s acquisition of First Allied, which occurred on June 30, 2014, was accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interest accounting because First Allied and the Company were under the common control of RCAP Holdings at the time of the acquisition of First Allied by RCAP Holdings, and accordingly is included in the entire period from September 25, 2013. The Company's completed or pending acquisitions, which include Trupoly, Inc., Docupace Technologies, LLC, VSR Group, Inc. and Girard Securities, Inc. were not considered significant acquisitions and were not included in these unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes pro forma adjustments to reflect the acquisitions of the Completed Acquisitions (except that, with respect to First Allied, the pro forma adjustments only relate to the period prior to September 25, 2013) and exchange (the “Exchange”) by RCAP Holdings, LLC, (“RCAP Holdings”) of all the Class B units owned by it in the Company’s operating subsidiaries for 23,999,999 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock par value $0.001 per share ("Class A Common Stock”). The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2014 was not included as all of the significant acquisitions were included in the Company's historical Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2014. The Company's purchase price allocation adjustments for the Completed Acquisitions are presented below. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 does not require pro forma adjustments for the Exchange.

The unaudited Consolidated Pro Forma Statements of Operations and the related unaudited Pro Forma adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013 were prepared as if the acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2013, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and the Completed Acquisitions’ historical financial statements and notes thereto (based on the significance test performed by the Company, the consolidated financial statements for ICH, JP Turner, and Strategic Capital are not included). The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the Company acquired the Completed Acquisitions on January 1, 2013, nor does it purport to present the future results of operations of the Company.

Pursuant to an agreement, RCS Capital Management, LLC (“RCS Capital Management”) implements the Company’s business strategy, as well as the business strategy of the operating subsidiaries, and performs executive and management services for the Company and operating subsidiaries, subject to oversight, directly or indirectly, by the Company’s Board of Directors. For purposes of the Consolidated Pro Forma Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 there were no quarterly fees charged due to the fact that, based on the pro forma results, the quarterly fee calculation was negative.

We have entered into a tax receivable agreement with RCAP Holdings pursuant to which we are obligated to pay RCAP Holdings 85% of the amount of the reduction, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax liabilities that we realize (or are deemed to realize upon an early termination of the tax receivable agreement or a change of control) as a result of any increases in tax basis created by RCAP Holdings’ exchanges of Class B units owned by it in the Company's operating subsidiaries for shares of Class A Common Stock. These Pro Forma consolidated financial statements assume RCAP Holdings’ exchanges will be effectuated in a tax-free manner in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 351; therefore, the tax receivable agreement will not be triggered and RCAP Holdings will not receive payments from the Company for income tax purposes.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical Statement of Operations of the Completed Acquisitions to conform to the Company’s presentation. For example, if one of the Completed Acquisitions had an expense line item for which the Company has no comparable line item, other expenses was used unless the amount was material, in which case a new line item was added.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations

for the Year Ended December 31, 2013

(1)

Reflects the historical Consolidated Statement of Income of the Company for the period indicated, which has been recast to include First Allied results from the date of common control, September 25, 2013, through December 31, 2013.

(2)

Reflects the historical Consolidated Statement of Income of Cetera for the period indicated.

(3)

Reflects the historical Statement of Operations of Walnut Street Securities, Inc. (“Walnut”) for the eight months ended August 31, 2013. Cetera did not acquire Walnut until the third quarter of 2013; therefore, the historical Consolidated Statement of Income of Cetera only includes Walnut for four months. Walnut did not have any transactions for this period with the Company or Cetera. As such, no intercompany elimination adjustments are reflected in the pro forma financial statements. The results of Walnut for the eight months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 include overhead charges from affiliates prior to the acquisition by Cetera of $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Following the acquisition of Walnut by Cetera, Walnut ceased operating as a separate entity and its operations were moved to a more efficient shared service platform and a substantial portion of Walnut’s employees were not hired by Cetera. Therefore, we do not believe that these overhead charges are indicative of overhead allocable to Walnut following the acquisition or that the results of operations for of Walnut for the eight months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 are indicative of what its operating performance would have been if it had been owned by Cetera during the eight months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012.

(4)

Reflects the historical Statement of Operations of Tower Square Securities, Inc. (“Tower Square”) for the eight months ended August 31, 2013. Cetera did not acquire Tower Square until the third quarter of 2013; therefore, the historical Consolidated Statement of Income of Cetera only includes Tower Square for four months. Tower Square did not have any transactions for this period with the Company or Cetera. As such, no intercompany elimination adjustments are reflected in the pro forma financial statements. The results of Tower Square for the eight months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 include overhead charges from affiliates prior to the acquisition by Cetera of $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Following the acquisition of Tower Square by Cetera, Tower Square ceased operating as a separate entity and its operations were moved to a more efficient shared service platform and a substantial portion of Tower Square’s employees were not hired by Cetera. Therefore, we do not believe that these overhead charges are indicative of overhead allocable to Tower Square following the acquisition or that the results of operations for of Tower Square for the eight months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012 are indicative of what its operating performance would have been if it had been owned by Cetera during the eight months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012.

(6)

First Allied’s historical financial statements comprise a predecessor and successor period as RCAP Holdings acquired First Allied on September 25, 2013.

(10)

Reflects the historical Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations of ICH for the period indicated. ICH has a fiscal year that ends on March 31; therefore, in order to present a statement of operations for December 31, 2013 that reflects twelve months of activity, the amounts were derived by adding:
