173,782 | {7}------------------------------------------------ ### **Note 1 – Nature of Operations** 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. 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") as contained in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") 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. Such estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts and impairment of long-lived assets. *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, 2024, 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, 2024, 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 accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount equal to the consideration the entity receives or expects to receive. Revenue recognition is determined through the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. 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. {8}------------------------------------------------ ### **Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (***continued)* 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 a contract as a single performance obligation and the retainer revenue is classified as deferred revenue on the Statement of Financial Condition. *Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses* – The Company accounts for estimated credit losses on financial assets at an amortized cost basis and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures, if any, in accordance with FASB ASC 326-20, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. FASB ASC 326-20 requires the Company to estimate expected credit losses over the life of its financial assets and certain off-balance sheet exposures as of the reporting date based on relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. An allowance for credit losses is established when the company records estimated credit losses. Changes to the estimated credit losses are recorded through the provision for credit loss expense. A receivable is charged off by management as a loss when deemed uncollectible, although collection efforts continue, and recoveries may occur. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing, uncollateralized obligations receivable in accordance with the terms agreed upon with each customer. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable for any uncollectible amounts. The review for uncollectible amounts is based on an analysis of the Company's collection experience, customer creditworthiness, and current economic trends. Based on management's review of accounts receivable, a \$20,000 allowance for credit losses was recorded as of December 31, 2024. *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 in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for 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, 2024. LCG's federal income tax returns for its 2022 and subsequent tax years are subject to examination by the internal revenue service for three years from their date of filing. *Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities* – The Company follows FASB guidance with respect to fair value measurements. This guidance provides a framework for measuring fair value under US GAAP, for all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (see note 8). *Segment Reporting* – FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, as amended by the FASB ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, requires all public entities, including those with a single reportable segment, to disclose additional information about a reportable segment's expenses. {9}------------------------------------------------ ### **Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (***continued)* The Company's chief operating decision maker is its chief executive officer. The Company has one reportable segment: investment banking. The accounting policies of the investment banking segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The chief operating decision maker assesses performance for the investment banking segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income as is reported within the accompanying statement of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported within the accompanying statement of financial condition as total assets. The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers. *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, 2024, the cash on deposit did not exceed the FDIC insured limit. Accounts Receivable at December 31, 2024 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, 2024 there was a \$31,000 allowance for uncollectible amounts. The Company earned revenue from 12 customers in 2024. The top 3 customers accounted for 51%, 19% and 9%, respectively, of fees and commissions for the year ended December 31, 2024. 100% of revenues were generated in the USA. #### **Note 4 – Related Party Transactions** The Company owes \$6,993 as of December 31, 2024 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 \$113,517 in expenses allocated under that agreement during the year ended December 31, 2024. #### **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, 2024, the Company had a net capital requirement and excess net capital of \$5,000 and \$130,846, respectively. The Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was 27.93%. {10}------------------------------------------------ ### **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, 2024 requiring contingent loss recognition. ### **Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements** FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by ASC Topic 820, are used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad areas: Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are: - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. - Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets. - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability, and the reporting entity makes estimates and assumptions related to the pricing of the asset or liability, including assumptions regarding risk. #### **Note 9 – 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, 2024 through February 21, 2025 which would require adjustment to, or disclosure in the financial statements, other than previously disclosed. {11}------------------------------------------------ **Supplemental Information** {12}------------------------------------------------ # **December 31, 2024 LCG Capital Advisors, LLC Schedule I - Computation of Net Capital Pursuant to Rule 15c3-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission** | Net capital | | |---------------------------------------------------------------|---------------| | Total member's capital | \$
