# NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2022 (See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm)

#### Organization and nature of business Note 1

B&D Capital Partners, LLC (the "Company") was formed in 2021 and is a North Carolina limited liability company. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blystone & Donaldson, LLC ("Parent"). The Company is a registered broker dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of FINRA("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). The Company does not claim exemption from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC, in reliance on footnote 74 to SEC Release 34-70073.

#### Summary of significant accounting policies Note 2

### Basis of presentation

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

### Accounts receivable

The Company carries its accounts receivable at costs less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its receivables and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on history of past write-offs, collections and current credit conditions. As of December 31, 2022, no allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary.

### Revenue recognition

The Company adheres to ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606"). The revenue recognition guidance requires that an entity 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 to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance 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.

Revenue from contracts with customers includes fees from investment banking and financial advisory services. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms.

# B&D CAPTIAL PARTNERS, LLC

# NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) December 31, 2022 (See Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm)

#### Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Note 2

Significant judgement 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 from investment banking success fees are generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction).

At December 31, 2022, contract assets are \$0 and contract liabilities were \$0. Disaggregation can be found on statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.

## Income taxes

The Company is a limited liability company treated as a disregarded entity. Accordingly, in lieu of Federal and state income taxes, the member is taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision or liability for Federal or state taxes has been included in these financial statements. The Company's sole member's tax return remains subject to examination by the appropriate taxing jurisdiction for tax years ending after December 31, 2019.

# Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, prepaid expenses, deposits, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to the short term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

# Use of estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### Net capital requirements Note 3

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of a minimum net capital balance and requires that the Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital, as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. At December 31, 2022 the Company's net capital was \$23,508 which was \$18,508 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 0.

#### Note 5 Subsequent events

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 855, Subsequent Events, the Company has evaluated subsequent events to the Statement of Financial Position date of December 31, 2022 through March 29, 2023, which is the date the financial statements were issued.
