### 1. Organization

McMorgan & Company Capital Advisors, LLC (the "Company"), was incorporated on October 1, 2012 ("Inception"), in the State of Delaware. The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (the "FINRA"), and is a wholly-owned subsidiary ofMcMorgan & Company LLC (the "Parent"). The Company provides private placement services to employee benefit plan sponsors. The Company also provides solicitation, support, and client relations services to certain retirement/benefit plan investment advisory clients in the Taft-Hartley market space.

#### 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

## Basis of Accounting

The financial statement have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The financial statement include operations, assets, and liabilities of the Company. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying financial statement contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying financial statement.

## Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statement in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions about current and sometimes future economic and market conditions, which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the Company's financial statement. Although the Company's estimates contemplate current conditions and how management expects them to change in the future, as appropriate, it is reasonably possible that future actual conditions could be different than anticipated in those estimates. Significant estimates include the collectability of the placement fee receivable.

## Cash and cash equivalents

Cash consists of deposits with bank and all highly liquid investments, with maturities of three months or less.

{7}------------------------------------------------

## Placement fee receivable

The Company accounts for credit losses in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"). ASC 326 impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets measured at amortized cost by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset, recorded at inception or purchase. Under the guidance, the Company has the ability to determine there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances. An allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments carried at amortized cost, including receivables recognized under ASC 606. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances, and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses.

Collections for receivables typically range between 30 days to 120 days. The Company had no allowance for credit losses for placement fee receivables at January 1, 2024 or December 31 , 2024. Placement fee receivable at January 1, 2024 was \$135,911.

#### Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects in exchange for those goods or services.

To achieve that core principle, an entity applies the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Placement fees are earned upon the successful conclusion of placement engagements and throughout the life of the engagement until the account is tenninated. Placement fees earned are based on a percentage applied to the customer's assets under management. For variable amounts, the uncertainty is dependent on the value of the assets under management at future points in time as well as the length of time the client remains with the sponsor, both of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence, the Company does not believe that it can overcome this constraint until the market value of the assets and client activities are known. Fees are typically received quarterly and recognized as revenues in the current period although they are primarily related to performance obligations that have been satisfied in prior periods.

{8}------------------------------------------------

The economic conditions that affect the firm's operations are related to overall trends in the economy and can be significantly influenced by changes in the interest rates and overall market conditions.

#### Income taxes

The Company is organized as a limited liability company, which is treated as a disregarded entity for federal tax purposes. Under limited liability company rules, substantially all income tax liabilities flow through to the Member, with the exception of certain state taxes. Federal, state, and local income taxes have not been provided for in these financial statement to the extent the Member of the Company is responsible for reporting its allocable share of income, gains, deductions, losses, and credits on its respective individual tax returns. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of California. Generally, the Company is subject to examination by federal (or state and local) income tax authorities for three years from the filing of a tax return.

### Segment Reporting

Beginning in 2024 annual reporting, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07) that was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). This new standard requires an enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. For additional information, see Note 8 - Segment Reporting.

#### Subsequent events

Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the statement of financial condition date but before financial statement are issued. The Company recognizes in the financial statement the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the statement of financial condition, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the financial statement. The Company's financial statement do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the statement of financial condition but arose after the statement of financial condition date and before financial statement are issued. Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through February 28, 2025, the date the financial statement were available to be issued.

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

#### 3. Related-Party Transactions

On October 1, 2012, the Company entered into an Expense Sharing Agreement with its Parent, whereby the Company will reimburse the Parent for payroll and certain administrative costs. These costs, including other expenses paid by the Parent on behalf of the Company, totaled \$777,634 for the year ended December 31 , 2024, and are included in compensation and operating expenses on the accompanying statement of income. On September 1, 2024 and December 1, 2024, the Parent Company forgave \$125,659 and\$ 100,000, respectively, due to the Parent Company and the amount was treated as a contribution of equity. As of December 31 , 2024, \$207,122 remains due to the Parent and is included in the liabilities section of the statement of financial condition.

#### 4. Net Capital Requirements

The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital 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, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31 , 2024, the Company had net capital of\$193,200, which was \$177,134 in excess of its required net capital of\$16,066. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital at December 31 , 2024 was 1.24 to 1.

#### 5. Concentrations

The Company has cash deposits, which, from time to time, may exceed depository insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes they are not exposed to any significant risk of loss.

Five customers accounted for 92% of revenue and four customers accounted for 99% of the placement fee receivable for the year ended and as of December 31 , 2024.

#### 6. Defined Contribution Plan

Employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) defined contribution plan administered by the Parent. The Parent matches 100% of an employee's contribution up to 3% of eligible compensation. In addition, the plan allows for a profit sharing contribution that is a discretionary contribution determined annually by the Parent. If made, the profit sharing contribution is based on a percentage of the employee's eligible earnings. The employer match and profit sharing expense allocated to the Company amounted to \$23,097 for the year ended December 31 , 2024. The expense is covered by the Expense Sharing Agreement and is included in compensation expense on the accompanying statement of income.

{10}------------------------------------------------

## 7. Liquidity

The company has sustained operating losses in the current year. The Company is able to maintain adequate liquidity through the forgiveness of debt by the Parent. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash of \$434,191 and liabilities of \$240,991.

Management has carefully reviewed existing conditions with consideration whether the Company will be able to meet its obligations as they become due within the next year. The Company is dependent upon the Parent to forgive debt to cover operational expenses as well as maintain minimum net capital requirements. The Parent continues to rely on the Company as a strategic part of its operation, and as such has committed financial support.

#### 8. Segment Reporting

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as broker-dealer selling private placements. The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, predominately in the forecasting process, to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital, which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to 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. The financial information for the Company's single operating segment is the same as the financial information presented in the statement of financial condition, operations, changes in member's equity, and cash flows.

#### 9. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may become involved in various legal matters and regulatory inquiries or examinations in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not aware of any material contingencies relating to such matters that would require accrual or disclosure in the financial statement or their notes as of December 31 , 2024. The Company does not have any guarantees or other commitments as of December 31 , 2024.
