In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SSG Capital Advisors, LLC as of December 31 , 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year 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 the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company'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 the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") 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 Schedules I, II and Ill have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Company'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. §240.1 ?a-5. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. We have served as SSG Capital Advisors, LLC's auditor since 2022.

The Company was approved to be registered as a broker-dealer with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), effective April 7, 2010. The Parent provides capital contributions for the operation of the Company as necessary. The Company had \$0 revenue and a loss of \$387,281 in fiscal year 2024, a significant portion of which are service fees paid to the affiliate. The Parent and affiliate companies have adequate capital resources for ongoing operations. The Parent's non-securities investment banking business is transacted in SSG Advisors, LLC (the "Affiliate"). SSG Advisors, LLC is also wholly owned by SSG Holdings, LLC. #### **NOTE 2** - **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** #### *BASIS OF PRESENTATION* The 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* The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("F ASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company typically enters into contracts with clients calling for periodic retainer fees to be paid during the term of the arrangement and a success fee to be paid out once the merger, acquisition, sale, restructuring, or financing (the "Transaction") is completed. Following the specified monthly term, the contract can generally be terminated by either party without penalty and all retainers and monthly fees are nonrefundable. This Transaction fee is typically based on a percentage of the total value of the Transaction, although in certain cases it may be a flat fee. At times, the Company is paid certain success fees, subsequent to the date the Transaction is completed, such as when its clients receive contingent earn-out payments. The variable consideration relating to success fees is recognized as revenue when it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur. The Company's services within its contract represent a single performance obligation as all activities to be performed within the context of the contract are inputs to the combined output of performing advisory services that may result in a Transaction. The Company recognizes revenue over time on a time elapsed method for those contracts that provide evidence that the customer is receiving benefits for services performed. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ### FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 ### **NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** ### *REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)* The Company recognizes a contract asset for costs to fulfill a contract when commissions are paid to representatives based on the receipt of contract retainer payments. These amounts will be expensed when the related performance obligation is satisfied. There were no contract assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2024. #### *CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS* Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and a money market account. #### *INCOME TAXES* The Company follows the guidance ofFASB ASC Topic 740, income taxes. The Company is not subject to income taxes at the federal and state levels. The Member is responsible for the tax liability, if any, related to its proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is reflected in the accompanying financial statements. The Company is a pass-through entity and the Member has concluded there are no unce1iain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. If the Company were to incur an income tax liability in the future, interest on any income tax liability would be reported as interest expense and penalties on any income tax liability would be reported as income taxes. The Member's conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors. Generally, tax authorities may examine the Company's tax returns for three years from the date of filing and the current and prior three years remain subject to examination as of December 31 , 2024. #### *USE OF ESTIMATES* The presentation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. {11}------------------------------------------------ ### NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS #### FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 #### **NOTE 2** - **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** #### *CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK* Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to certain limits. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with a bank that at times exceeds applicable insurance limits. The Company reduces its exposure to credit risk by maintaining such deposits with high-quality financial institutions. The Company has not experienced losses in such accounts. #### *SUBSEQUENT EVENTS* Management evaluated subsequent events occurring through February 28, 2025 the date these financial statements were available to be issued and determined that there were no other events or transactions occurring that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. #### **NOTE 3-RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** The Company has an expense sharing agreement with its affiliate, SSG Advisors, LLC. The Company pays a monthly service fee to the affiliate for its portion of estimated and allocable indirect operating expenses (including payroll, rent, office supplies, computer and other operating expenses). During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred service fees of \$360,000. #### **NOTE 4-NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS** The Company is required to compute net capital in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 15c3-1, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$176,414 which was \$171,414 in excess of the required net capital of \$5,000. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 7.92% as of December 31, 2024. ## **NOTE 5- MAJOR CLIENTS** The Company had no clients. {12}------------------------------------------------ ## **NOTE 6- COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES** The Company had no Commitments and Contingencies. ### **NOTE 7-BROKER DEALER- SINGLE REPORTABLE SEGMENT** The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of a single class of service, which is an investment banking business. The Company has identified its President 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, 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. The Company did not report any revenue in 2024. {13}------------------------------------------------ ### SCHEDULE I - COMPUTATION OF NET CAPITAL UNDER RULE 15c3-l OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION | DECEMBER 31, 2024 | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------| | SCHEDULE!

In addition, the Company did not directly or indirectly receive, hold, or otherwise owe funds or securities for or to customers, did not carry accounts of or for customers and did not carry PAS accounts (as defined in Rule 15c3-3) throughout the most recent fiscal year without exception. SSG Capital Advisors, LLC's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions 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 the Company'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.
