#### REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

### To: The Stockholder **Top Capital Advisors, Inc.**

#### **Opinion on the Financial Statements**

I have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Top Capital Advisors, Inc. as of December 31, 202, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholder equity and cash flows for the year then ended, that are filed pursuant to Rule 17a-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Top Capital Advisors, Inc. as of December 31, 202 and its results of 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 Top Capital Advisors, Inc.'s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on Top Capital Advisors, Inc.'s financial statements based on my audit. I am a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and I am required to be independent with respect to Top Capital Advisors, Inc. in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that I 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. My 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. My 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

#### **Supplemental Information**

The Schedule I, Computation of Net Capital Under SEC Rule 15c3-1, Schedule II, Computation for Identification of Reserve Requirements and Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements Under SEC Rule 15c3-3 (*exemption*) has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Top Capital Advisors, Inc.'s financial statements.

{4}------------------------------------------------

The supplemental information is the responsibility of Top Capital Advisors, Inc.'s management. My 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 my opinion on the supplemental information, I evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with 17 C.F.R. §240.17a-5. In my opinion, the Schedule I, Computation of Net Capital Under SEC Rule 15c3-1, Schedule II, Computation for Identification of Reserve Requirements and Information Relating to Possession or Control Requirements Under SEC Rule 15c3-3 (*exemption*) is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

#### 1 **Organization and Nature of Business Operations**

Top Capital Advisors, Inc. (the Company) is a New York corporation. For regulatory purposes, its main office is based in Inglewood, CA. Geographical limits on its operations are a function of relevant securities registration regulations.

The Company's membership agreement allows the firm to provide private equity fund consulting and placement (of limited partnership interests) services on behalf of institutional quality private equity funds. During calendar year 2024, the firm had no revenue.

The Company is a broker dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (S.E.C.), and accordingly, is subject to the governing rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) as well as certain other regulatory agencies.

Revenues, (if any), may be affected by the overall activities of the financial markets and other economic risks.

The Company holds no customer funds or securities and does not participate in the underwriting of securities.

#### **2 Significant Accounting Policies**

#### *(a) Basis of Presentation*

The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") unless otherwise disclosed.

#### *(b) Use of Estimates*

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

#### *(c) Statement of Cash Flows*

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company has defined cash equivalents as highly liquid investments, with original maturities of less than three months, that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business. The company has adopted the indirect method of presenting the

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

#### *F 6WDWHPHQWRI&DVK)ORZVFRQWLQXHG*

statement of cash flows in accordance with current authoritative pronouncements. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2024. The Company's cash is held by a single financial institution and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

#### *(d) Income Taxes*

The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be treated as an S Corporation. In lieu of corporation income taxes, the shareholders of an S Corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements. The Company's tax returns and the amount of income or loss allocable to each shareholder are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. In the event of an examination of the Company's tax return, the tax liability of the shareholders could be changed if an adjustment in the Company's income or loss is ultimately determined by the taxing authorities.

Certain transactions of the Company's may be subject to accounting methods for federal and state income tax purposes which differ significantly from the accounting methods used in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, the net income or loss of the Company and the resulting balances in the shareholder's capital accounts reported for federal and state income tax purposes may differ from the balances reported for those same items in these financial statements.

The Company recognizes and measures its unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under that guidance the Company assesses the likelihood, based on their technical merit, that tax positions will be sustained upon examination based on the facts, circumstances and information available at the end of the financial reporting period. The measurement of unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted when new information is available, or when an event occurs that requires a change.

Management has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions which require adjustment or disclosure on the financial statements at December 31, 2024, and there are no open tax years prior to 2020. In addition, no material income tax related penalties or interest have been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2024.

#### *(e) Advertising and Marketing*

Advertising costs (if any) are charged to operations as incurred.

#### *(f) General and Administrative Expenses*

General and administrative costs (other expenses) are expensed as incurred.

{12}------------------------------------------------

#### *(g) Fair Value Hierarchy*

FASB ASC 820 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 FASB ASC 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 levels:

*Level 1.* Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

*Level 2.* Inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

*Level 3.* Inputs are unobservable for the assets or liability.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining the fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

For further discussion of fair value, see "Note 5, Fair Value".

#### **3 Net Capital Requirements**

The Company, as a registered broker dealer in securities, is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-1). The Company has elected to operate under that portion of the Rule which requires that the Company maintain "net capital" equal to the

{13}------------------------------------------------

#### *1HW&DSLWDO5HTXLUHPHQWVFRQWLQXHG*

greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, as those terms are defined in the rule. At December 31, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$,457, which was \$7 in excess of its required minimum net capital of \$5,. The Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio .

Advances to affiliates, contributions, distributions, and other withdrawals are subject to certain notification and other requirements of Rule 15c3-1 and other regulatory rules.

The Company does not claim exemption from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company relies on Footnote 74 of SEC Release 34-70073.

#### **4 Concentrations and Economic Dependency**

The Company earned no revenues during the year ended December 31, 2024 and relied on cash on hand and equity capital to maintain its minimum net capital requirements. The Company has sufficient cash on hand to fund ongoing operations and remain compliant with net capital requirements.

The Company maintains its cash in a bank account that at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts through December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, there were no cash balances held in any accounts that were not fully insured.

#### **5 Fair Value**

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other current liabilities are reflected in the financial statements at carrying value which approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

#### **6 Commitments and Contingencies**

Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-1(e)(2) the Company may not authorize distributions to its stockholder if such distributions cause the Company's net capital to fall below 120% of the Company's minimum net capital requirement. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with this rule.

The Company had no lease or equipment rental commitments, no underwriting commitments, no contingent liabilities, and had not been named as a defendant in any lawsuit at December 31, 2024, or during the year ended December 31, 2024.

{14}------------------------------------------------

### **7 Related Party Transactions**

During calendar year 2024, the Company's principal shareholder / chief executive officer did not receive any compensation. There were no reimbursements for overhead or travel expenses. No client-related travel expenses were incurred as there was no client work performed.

### **8 Anti-Money Laundering Policies and Procedures**

The Company is required to implement policies and procedures relating to anti-money laundering, compliance, suspicious activities, and currency transaction reporting and due diligence on customers who open accounts with the Company. At December 31, 2024, the Company had implemented such policies and procedures.

### **9 Exemption from Rule 15c3-3**

The Company is exempt from the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c3-3 and, therefore is not required to maintain a "Special Reserve Bank Account for the Exclusive Benefit of Customers".

#### **10 Segment Reporting**

The Company is approved to operate in a single line of business as a broker-dealer. The Company has identified its CEO 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 3), 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.

#### **11 Subsequent Events**

The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the statement of financial condition date through the date of May 6, 2025, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that no subsequent events have occurred which require disclosure in or adjustment to the financial statements.

To: The Stockholder

#### **Top Capital Advisors, Inc.**

I have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Rule 15c3-3 Exemption Statement, in which (1) Top Capital Advisors, Inc. (the "Company") stated that the Company does not hold customers' cash or securities on behalf of customers and limits its business to effecting securities transactions via subscriptions via subscriptions on a subscription way basis where the funds are payable to the issurer or its agent and not to the Company and therefore has no obligations under Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 pursuant to Footnote 74 of SEC Release 34-70073. In addition, as a result of the Company's having no obligations under SEC Rule 15c3-3, it may file an Exemption Report and (2) the Company stated that it had no exceptions under SEC Rule 15c3-3 throughout the year ended December 31, 202. 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 PAB accounts as defined in Rule 15c3-3. Management is responsible for compliance with 17 C.F.R. § 240. 15c3-3 and its statements. My 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 17 C.F.R. § 240. 15c3-3. 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, I do not express such an opinion. Based on my review, I am 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 on Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
