### **Note 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**
#### **Nature of Business**
Cadia Capital Advisors, LLC (DBA Rubicon Capital Advisors) (the "Company") was organized in December 2015 as a Delaware limited liability Company. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cadia Capital Ireland Limited (the "Parent"). The Company is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") and Securities Investor Protection Corp. ("SIPC"). The U.S. dollar(\$) is the functional currency of the Company.
The Company is considered a Non-Covered Firm exempt from 17 C.F.R. § 240.15c3-3 relying on Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5. The Company limits its business activities exclusively to private placements of securities, mergers and acquisitions and investment banking.
The Company's operations consist primarily of providing merger and acquisition and investment banking services to companies in the infrastructure and renewable energy space.
### **Significant Accounting Policies**
## **Use of Estimates**
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
#### **Current Expected Credit Losses**
The Company accounts for estimated credit losses on financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures 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. The Company records the estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance for credit losses. For financial assets measured at an amortized cost basis the allowance for credit losses is reported as a valuation account on the balance sheet that adjusts the asset's amortized cost basis. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are reported in Credit Loss expense. There were no credit losses for the year ending December 31, 2024.
{7}------------------------------------------------
#### **Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)**
## **Segment Reporting**
The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of providing merger and acquisition services. 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, 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 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. Segment financial information is identical to that presented in the accompanying financial statements.
## **Revenue Recognition**
Revenue from contracts with customers includes advisory services on mergers and acquisitions (M&A). 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 consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.
Revenue for M&A advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed, generally the closing date of the transaction.
### **Income Taxes**
The Company is a single member limited liability company and has elected to be treated as a domestic corporation for Federal, New York State and New York City income tax purposes.
{8}------------------------------------------------
#### **Note 2. Liabilities Subordinated to General Creditor**
The Company has entered into subordinated loan agreements with the Parent at December 31, 2024 as follows:
| Subordinated note, 4%, due May 4, 2026 | \$1,000,000 |
|-----------------------------------------------|-------------|
| Subordinated note, 4%, due December 21, 2026 | 500,000 |
| Subordinated note, 4%, due May 15, 2027 | 1,000,000 |
| Subordinated note, 4%, due July 11, 2027 | 3,000,000 |
| Subordinated note, 4%, due September 10, 2027 | 500,000 |
| Subordinated note, 4%, due December 15, 2027 | 1,000,000 |
| | \$7,000,000 |
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2024, totaled \$251,913, of which \$70,575 is payable at December 31, 2024.
The subordinated loans have been approved by FINRA and are available in computing net capital under the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule. To the extent that such borrowing is required for the Company's continued compliance with net capital requirements, they may not be repaid.
## **Note 3. Concentration of Credit Risk and Revenue**
At various times during the year the Company maintains cash balances at one national bank in excess of federally insured amounts. Cash balances fluctuate on a daily basis. At December 31, 2024, cash held in excess of the FDIC insurance totaled \$2,210,103.
The Company's revenue for 2024 was earned from two customers.
# **Note 4. Subsequent Events**
The Company has performed an evaluation of events that have occurred subsequent to December 31, 2024, and through March 27, 2025, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There have been no material subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require disclosure in this report or would be required to be recognized in the financial statements.
