## LCG CAPITAL ADVISORS, LLC Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020

#### Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Going Concern

LCG Capital Advisors, LLC (the "Company") is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is a Florida limited liability company, formed on July 3, 2003 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of LCG Capital Holdings, LLC ("LCG"). LCG purchased an existing broker-dealer in 2008 and renamed it LCG Capital Advisors, LLC in 2009. The Company's business primarily consists of assisting entities in obtaining financing and in merger and acquisition transactions.

### Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies are as follows:

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the statement of financial condition. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2020, there were no cash equivalents.

Goodwill – Goodwill was recorded in connection with the 100% change in control of the Company in 2008 as the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if indicators of possible impairment exist. As of December 31, 2020, based on management's assessment of qualitative factors it was determined that the fair value of the Company's lone reporting unit more-likely-than-not exceeds its carrying amount. As such, management determined that there was no impairment of goodwill.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers – The Company provides advisory services / corporate finance activity including mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations, tender offers, leveraged buyouts, fundraising activity and the pricing of securities to be issued.

The agreements with customers contain nonrefundable retainer fees or success fees, which may be fixed or represent a percentage of value that the customer receives if, and when, the corporate finance activity is completed ("success fees"). In some cases, there is also an "announcement fee" that is calculated on the date that a transaction is announced based on the price included in the underlying sale agreement. The retainer fees, announcement fee, or other milestone fees reduce any success fee subsequently invoiced and received upon the completion of the corporate finance activity i.e. at a point in time. The Company has evaluated its nonrefundable retainer payments, to ensure its fee relates to the transfer of a good or service, as a distinct performance obligation, in exchange for the retainer. The Company recognizes this retainer over time. In some cases, that would result in the broker-dealer accounting for all the services promised in

#### Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

a contract as a single performance obligation and the retainer revenue is classified as deferred revenue on the Statement of Financial Condition.

Income Taxes - The Company is treated as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. Accordingly, no income taxes or tax benefits are recorded by the Company since such taxes or tax benefits associated with the Company's operations are reported in the tax return of its parent company, LCG.

Management has evaluated the effect of the guidance provided by U.S. GAAP on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that could have a significant effect on the financial statements at December 31, 2020. LCG's federal income tax returns for its 2018 and subsequent tax years are subject to examination by the internal revenue service for three years from their date of filing.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements upon adoption.

#### Note 3 – Concentration of Credit Risk

The financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash at one depository bank, which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to \$250,000. As of December 31, 2020, the cash on deposit did not exceed the FDIC insured limit.

Accounts Receivable at December 31, 2020 is from two customers. Receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. At December 31, 2020 there was a \$15,000 allowance for uncollectible amounts. There were write-offs of uncollectable amounts of \$5,000 recognized during 2020.

The Company earned revenue from nine customers in 2020. The top 3 customers accounted for 41.7%, 27.6% and 17.2%, respectively, of fees and commissions for the year ended December 31, 2020. 100% of revenues were generated in the USA.

### Note 4 – Related Party Transactions

The Company owes \$10,639 (of which \$1,625 was in Accounts Payable) as of December 31, 2020 to a common control related entity. This payable is due on demand and is non-interest bearing. The Company has an expense sharing agreement with its related entities and has recognized approximately \$101,832 in expenses allocated under that agreement.

{9}------------------------------------------------

## LCG CAPITAL ADVISORS, LLC Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020

#### Note 5 – Net Capital Requirement

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum regulatory net capital and a specified ratio of aggregate indebtedness to regulatory net capital. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a net capital requirement and excess net capital of \$5,000 and \$13,766, respectively. The Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was 71.92%.

### Note 6 – Exemption from Rule 15c3-3

The Company does not claim an exemption from SEA Rule 15c3-3, in reliance on footnote 74 to SEC Release 34-70073, and as discussed in Q&A 8 of the related FAQ issued by SEC staff. The Company does not (1) directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, (2) does not carry accounts of or for customers and (3) does not carry PAB accounts.

#### Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

The Company can be subject to litigation, arbitration settlements and regulatory assessments which arise in the ordinary course of business as a registered broker-dealer. The Company recognizes a liability and expense for any such matters at the time exposure to loss is more than remote and an amount of the loss is reasonably determinable. In the opinion of management, there are no outstanding matters at December 31, 2020 requiring contingent loss recognition.

COVID-19 - The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic and related government-imposed and other measures intended to control the spread of the disease, including restrictions on travel and the conduct of business, such as stay-at-home orders, quarantines, travel bans, border closings, business closures and other similar measures, have had a significant impact on global economic conditions and have negatively impacted certain aspects of our business and results of operations, and may continue to do so in the future. Although certain economic conditions showed signs of improvement toward the end of fiscal 2020, certain of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to affect our results in the future.

#### Note 8 – Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. No events other than previously disclosed have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2020 through February 10, 2021 which would require adjustment to, or disclosure in the financial statements, other than previously disclosed.
