The Company records revenue when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to a customer. The Company evaluates the transfer of control primarily from the customer's perspective where the customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, that good or service. Certain contracts may include variable consideration in the form of purchase price/working capital adjustments after the performance obligation has been met. Certain contracts may include variable consideration for fee reductions which would reduce the transaction price at the time the performance obligation is met. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on the estimated standalone selling price for each performance obligation.

The Company generally recognizes advisory fee revenues for mergers and acquisitions, private capital raising, board advisory services and ESOP services the earlier of the announcement date, transaction date, or the preparation of the study/report, as the performance obligation is typically satisfied at such time. Upfront fees and retainer fees are generally deferred until the announcement, transaction date, or report preparation date as they are considered constrained prior to the announcement, transaction date or report preparation date. Consulting fee revenue is recognized over-time, as the performance obligation is satisfied.

### **NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)**

#### **Contract Balances**

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities on the balance sheet. Contract assets (work in progress) consists of employee expenses and time that have not been billed to the respective client (unbilled accounts receivable) less employee expenses and time that have been billed (progress billings). The carrying amount of work in progress is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management's best estimate of amounts that will not be collected. Contract liabilities include billings in excess of revenue recognized. The beginning and ending contract balances as of June 30 were as follows:

| June 30,                                | 2025             | 2024       | 2023    |
|-----------------------------------------|------------------|------------|---------|
|                                         |                  |            |         |
| Accounts receivable                     | \$<br>868,706 \$ | 232,170 \$ | 98,208  |
| Contract assets (Work in progress)      | 73,568           | 16,472     | 368     |
| Contract liabilities (Deferred revenue) | 467,009          | 1,059,750  | 538,393 |

#### **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

The statement of cash flows is designed to show the change in cash and cash equivalents during the year. Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and are so near maturity that fluctuations in interest rates lead to insignificant risk of changes in investment value.

#### **Accounts Receivable**

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due under various success fee, feasibility fee, retainer fee and consulting fee arrangements with customers for various capital and development services rendered. Under a retainer fee arrangement, clients are invoiced in advance with net 30-day terms for the succeeding month's services to be performed. Success fee arrangements are based on a preset formula determined at the commencement of each engagement. Feasibility fee arrangements are based on a fixed fee and are invoiced at the commencement of the study and invoiced upon the completion of the report. Occasionally, clients are invoiced on an hourly rate basis.

The Company accounts for credit losses on financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis in accordance with FASB ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326). ASC 326 requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the life of its financial assets as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Management monitors the adequacy of these estimates through periodic evaluations against actual trends experienced.

{11}------------------------------------------------

June 30, 2025 and 2024

### **NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)**

#### **Accounts Receivable**

The Company's receivables from contracts with customers generally do not give rise to material credit risk and have a remote probability of default because of their short-term nature and operations. The beginning and ending allowance for credit losses as of June 30 were as follows:

| June 30,          | 2025            | 2024      | 2023   |
|-------------------|-----------------|-----------|--------|
|                   |                 |           |        |
| Beginning balance | \$<br>25,000 \$ | 25,000 \$ | 25,000 |
| Bad debt ex~ense  | 15,000          | 0         | 0      |
| Ending balance    | 40,000          | 25,000    | 25,000 |

#### **Income Taxes**

As a single member limited liability company, the Company is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes and taxable income or loss is reported by its member. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

State income tax positions taken by the Company prior to single member limited liability status (April 2010) were recognized and measured under a more-likely-than-not success threshold. Management has evaluated the Company's various tax positions under this criteria for recognition, derecognition, and measurement in these financial statements. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state tax examinations for years before 2020. The Company also has a tax allocation agreement with it's member where the Company absorbs its pro-rata share of the state tax expenses based off of income associated with the location of where services are rendered.

#### **Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America issued by Financial Accounting Standards Board 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.

#### **Advertising**

The Company follows the policy of charging the cost of advertising to expense as incurred. Total advertising costs totaled \$44,257 and \$52,666 for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

#### **Commitments and Contingencies**

The Company had no commitment, contingency or guarantee that might result in a loss or a future obligation, as well as any claim of which the firm was aware that might be asserted against it as of the audit opinion date for years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

# **NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Continued)**

# **Segment Reporting**

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of several classes of services, including mergers and acquisition advisory, private capital raising, board advisory services and ESOP services. The Company has identified the President and the Board of Directors as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, predominantly in the forecasting process, to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 6), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or pay dividends. 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 the summary of significant accounting policies.

### **NOTE 3 - Retirement Plan**

The Member maintains an employee 401 (k) and profit sharing plan covering substantially all of its eligible employees, as defined by the plan. Under the terms of the plan, the Company may make discretionary matching contributions. The Company made matching contributions of \$89, 127 and \$76,565 for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

On August 31, 2023, the employees of the Company became members of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, a qualified retirement plan under Internal Code Section 401 (a). For the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, compensation expense associated with this Plan was \$308,973 and \$102,064, respectively.

Certain of the company's employees are participants in the BOO USA Stock Option Plan and hold options to purchase shares of BOO USA at a defined exercise price. The expense recognized in the financial statements associated with these options was \$55,405 for the year ended June 30, 2025.

# **NOTE 4 - Related Parties**

The Company has a facilities usage agreement with one of its members to provide various occupancy services, including, but not limited to, telephone, computer support, and office space and services. The rent is adjusted quarterly based on equipment usage and the number of employees in each office. This agreement expires on June 30, 2025. The total amount paid to the member was \$386,785 and \$500,449 for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Additionally, the Company reimburses related parties for costs paid on the Company's behalf and is reimbursed for other related parties' costs. The total amount of these expenses was \$389, 113 and \$695,294 for the years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Balances owed to the member were \$296,139 and \$1,102,156 as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Distributions of \$10,800,000 were paid to the sole member during fiscal year June 30, 2025 and there were no distributions paid to the sole member during fiscal year June 30, 2024.

### **NOTE 5 - Concentrations of Credit Risk/Significant Clients**

#### **Cash Balance**

#### **Major Customers**

For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Company derived approximately 90% of its revenue from ten clients. There was \$4,370 due from these clients as of June 30, 2024.

### **NOTE 6 - Net Capital Requirements**

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC 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, not exceed 15 to 1. SEC Rule 15c3-1 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 June 30, 2025, the Company had net capital of \$14,177,189 which was \$13,805,436 in excess of its required net capital of \$371,753. At June 30, 2025, the Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was .39 to 1.

### **NOTE 7 - Subsequent Events**

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Rule 15c3-3 Exemption Report pursuant to SEC Rule 17a-5, in which (1) BDO Capital Advisors, 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 (1) effecting securities transactions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issuer or its agent and not to the Company; (2) receiving transaction-based compensation for identifying potential merger and acquisition opportunities for clients. 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.

BOO Capital Advisors, LLC's management is responsible for compliance with the provisions contemplated by Footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5 and related SEC Staff Frequently Asked Questions 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 BOO Capital Advisors, 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.
