In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bill Parker Agency as of December 31, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for 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 Bill Parker Agency's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Bill Parker Agency'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 Bill Parker Agency 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 supplemental information contained in Schedule I - Computation of Net Capital Under Rule 15c3-1 of Securities and Exchange Commission and Schedule II - Computation of Reserve Requirements and Information Relating to the Possession or Control Requirements Under SEC Rule 15c3-3 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Bill Parker Agency's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of Bill Parker Agency'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.

NATURE OF ACTIVITIES Bill Parker Agency (the "Company") is engaged in the sale of variable annuities and mutual funds to individuals, organizations and businesses in Northern California and Nevada. Commissions are paid by the issuing companies to Bill Parker Agency. The Company's operations are conducted from offices in a proprietor family residence. ## 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation - the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Revenue Recognition – Sale of variable annuity and investment company shares. The Company enters into arrangements with its clearing firms for 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 are recognized in the period of time the investor remains in the fund. Use of Estimates – Preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash in one bank with FDIC insurance of up to \$250,000. At December 31, 2024, the cash balance in the bank account totaled \$13,544, which was less than the FDIC insurance limit of \$250,000. The Company carries no customer cash or securities and maintains SIPC exemption. Commissions Receivable – Commissions receivable as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024, were \$12,096 and \$14,042, respectively. The commissions receivable represent earned revenue not received as of the end of each fiscal year. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## BILL PARKER AGENCY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ ## 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Income Taxes – As the Company is a proprietorship (pass-through entity), no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. The tax liability, if any, is that of the sole proprietor. Lease Accounting – In 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board implemented accounting standard ASC 842, Lease Accounting. This standard did not affect the Company in the current year because the Company has not entered into any leases. #### 3. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENT Pursuant to the net capital provision of Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is required to maintain net capital of not less than \$5,000. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's net capital was \$17,331. ## 4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date of the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, the date the financial statements were issued. No additional adjustments to, or disclosures in, the financial statements were deemed necessary. ## 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES As of December 31, 2024, and through the date of the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, the date the financial statements were issued, the Company was unaware of any material commitments or contingencies that would affect the Company's financial statements. #### 6. SINGLE REPORTABLE SEGMENT The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer which is comprised of the sale of variable annuities and investment company shares described in Note 2. The Company has identified its Chief Financial Officer as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, predominantly the forecasting process, to manage the Company. {11}------------------------------------------------ ## BILL PARKER AGENCY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ #### 6. SINGLE REPORTABLE SEGMENT (Continued) Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Schedule I), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to maintain profits or pay withdrawals. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in Note 2. {12}------------------------------------------------ ## BILL PARKER AGENCY SCHEDULE I COMPUTATION OF NET CAPITAL UNDER RULE 15c3-1 OF SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION DECEMBER 31, 2024 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ | Company equity | \$ 17,331 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------| | Non-allowable assets | - | | Net capital | 17,331 | | Greater of 6-2/3% of aggregate indebtedness (-0-)

Bill Parker Agency's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provision 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 Bill Parker Agency's compliance with the exemption. 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 provision set forth in paragraph (k)(1) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
