# **AEG CAPITAL, LLC Notes to the Financial Statement**
## **1. Nature of Operation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**
## **Nature of Operations**
AEG Capital, LLC (the "Company") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEG Partners LLC ("AEG Partners"). The Company was formed as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Illinois in March 2013. The Company is a broker-dealer, registered with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), and licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") effective May 2, 2014. The Company conducts business primarily with institutional customers in the private placements of securities. The Company also provides mergers and acquisitions and other investment banking advisory services. The Company holds no customer securities or funds for investment, nor does it owe funds or securities to its customers.
### **Government and Other Regulation**
The Company's business is subject to significant regulation by governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations. Such regulation includes, among other things, periodic examinations by these regulatory bodies to determine whether the Company is conducting and reporting its operations in accordance with the applicable requirements of these organizations.
## **A Summary of the Company's Significant Accounting Policies Follows:**
## **Basis of Accounting**
The financial statement has been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") as established in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") to ensure consistent reporting of financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
### **Use of Estimates and Assumptions**
The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with GAAP requires the Company's 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 the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
## **Cash and Cash Equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include all short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of \$38,771 maintained in U.S. bank accounts, of which all U.S. bank account balances were below the \$250,000 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage.

## **Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Credit Losses**
Accounts receivable consist of unconditional amounts due for services rendered and are reported net of any estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts and contractual adjustments. All receivables are uncollateralized. An allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments carried at amortized cost, including other receivables utilizing the relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balance and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. The Company's expectation is that the credit risk associated with other receivables is not significant until they are 90 days past due based on the contractual agreement and expectation of collection in accordance with industry standards. As of June 30, 2025, no allowance for credit losses was needed as the receivables were considered to be fully collectible.
#### **Revenue Recognition**
The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services in accordance with FASB ASC 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.
The following provides detailed information on the recognition of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers:
*Significant Judgments*: Revenue from contracts with customers includes success and advisory fees. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; and whether constraints on variable considerations should be applied due to uncertain future events.
*Success Fees*: Success fees, including introductory fees, are recognized at the close of a transaction. The Company has determined that this date is the appropriate point in time to recognize revenue for success fees as the performance obligation has been satisfied, there are no significant actions which the Company needs to take subsequent to this date and the purchaser obtains the control and benefit of the proceeds at that point. Payment for revenue is due upon closing.
{6}------------------------------------------------
# **AEG CAPITAL, LLC Notes to the Financial Statement**
*Advisory Fees*: The Company provides advisory services on mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, capital raising and other strategic transactions. Revenue for advisory arrangements is recognized over the time in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. In some circumstances, significant judgment is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract. Payment for revenue is due upon invoicing.
*Reimbursed Expense Revenue Recognition:* From time to time, the Company incurs specific, identifiable expenses that are incurred in order to meet its obligations under the terms of an engagement. When those expenses are reimbursed by its client, the Company recognizes, as Reimbursed Expense Revenue, the reimbursement from the client in the same period as the reimbursed expense.
### **Segment Reporting**
The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of sharing in securities-related commissions with another FINRA member-firm. The Company has identified its Managing Member as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") who primarily 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 4), 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 distributions. 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. See the Statement of Income for the Company's segment revenue and segment expenses.
#### **Income Taxes**
The Company is a single member limited liability company and therefore disregarded for tax purposes. The profits and losses of the Company are included in the tax return of AEG Partners. Accordingly, the Company's financial statement does not reflect a provision for income taxes.
## **2. Concentration of Revenue**
Revenues for the year were earned from one customer.
## **3. Going Concern**
The Company has relied on its Parent, AEG Partners, for financial support since its inception. Management anticipates that the Company will continue to rely on its parent for financial support, which will enable the Company to continue as a going concern. See Note 5: Related-Party Transactions.
## **4. Net Capital Requirement**
The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's uniform net capital rule (Rule 15c3- 1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum net capital equal to or greater than \$5,000 or 6 and 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, and a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital not exceeding
{7}------------------------------------------------
15 to 1, both as defined. The net capital rules may restrict distributions. At June 30, 2025, the Company's adjusted net capital was \$31,941, which exceeded the requirement by approximately \$26,941.
## **5. Related-Party Transactions**
The Company and AEG Partners entered into an expense sharing agreement on August 29, 2013, which was amended as of January 1, 2024. AEG Partners makes available to the Company office space, equipment, the services of its employees and administrative support, and other services. The Company records in its financial statement allocated expenses related to the services provided pursuant to the Management Services Agreement.
Direct expenses attributable to the Company, such as registration, licensing, professional fees and certain marketing fees, are accrued and recorded in the Company's financial statement. AEG Partners provides the Company with capital contributions to pay direct expenses and maintain required net capital. Other expenses that are not identified as direct expenses, such as rent, utilities, and administrative expenses, or which are not specifically attributable to the Company, are paid directly by AEG Partners and are recorded on the books and records of the Company as applicable. Under the original expense sharing agreement the Company settled the intercompany liability to AEG Partners through a non-cash capital contribution. Under the amended expense sharing agreement effective January 1, 2024, the Parent assumes the costs of the services listed in the Agreement.
### **6 Commitments and Contingencies**
Accounting standards require the disclosure of representations and warranties which the Company enters into and which may provide general indemnifications to others. The Company, in its normal course of business, may enter into contracts that contain such representations and warranties. The Company's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet been incurred. However, based on its experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote. There are no commitments, guarantees, contingencies, complaints or arbitration claims to report in the notes to the annual audit report.
### **7. Subsequent Events**
There are no subsequent activities to report as of September 18, 2025.
The financial statement was approved by management and available for issuance on September 18, 2025. All known subsequent events have been evaluated through this date.
