Business and Organization** NCMG LLC (the "Company") is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") and became a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 effective August 3, 2022. The Company, a Delaware limited liability company was formed in October 1, 2021 and commenced operations on August 3, 2022 as a wholly owned subsidiary of NCMG Holdings LLC (the "Parent"). The Company is approved to engage in private placements, and firm commitment underwritings. #### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** This financial statement has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). All amounts are expressed in United States dollars (U.S. dollars) unless otherwise stated. The following is a summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies used in preparing the financial statement. #### **(a) Use of Estimates** The preparation of the financial statement requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates. #### **(b) Cash** Cash consists of cash held at one financial institution which at times may exceed federally insured limits of \$250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts and is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to its depository institutions. #### **(c) Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses** The Company applies Accounting Standards Update("ASC") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("CECL") which requires earlier recognition of credit losses, while also providing additional transparency about credit risk. The CECL methodology utilizes a lifetime "current expected credit loss" measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses for certain financial assets at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. The methodology replaces the multiple existing impairment methods in current **GAAP,** which generally require that a loss be incurred before it is recognized. Under the accounting update, the Company has the ability to determine there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances (e.g., based on collateral arrangements or based on the credit quality of the borrower or issuer). For certain financial assets measured at amortized cost, the Company has concluded that there are de minim is expected credit losses based on the nature and contractual life or expected life of the financial assets and immaterial historic and expected losses. The Company identified fees receivable carried at amortized cost as impacted by **ASC 326.** {7}------------------------------------------------ #### **(c) Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)** The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments carried at amortized cost, including fees receivable utilizing the CECL framework. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances 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 fees receivables is not significant until they are 90 days past due on the contractual arrangement and expectation of collection in accordance with industry standards.There were no open Accounts Receivable balances at December 31 , 2024. #### **(d) Revenue recognition** The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606"), which 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 Company follows 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. #### **Underwriting Fees** The Company earns underwriting fees in securities offerings in which the Company acts as an underwriter in initial public offerings or follow-on equity offerings. Fee revenue relating to underwriting commitments is recorded at the point in time when all significant items relating to the underwriting process have been completed and the amount of the underwriting revenue has been determined. Generally, this is the point at which all of the following have occurred: (i) the issuer's registration statement has become effective with the SEC or the other offering documents are finalized ; (ii) the Company has made a firm commitment for the purchase of securities from the issuer; and (iii) the Company has been informed of the number of securities that it has been allotted. {8}------------------------------------------------ #### **(e) Revenue recognition (continued)** Generally, the role of the members of the underwriting syndicate, including the lead and participating underwriters, is that of a principal for their respective share of the underwriting expenses because (a) the underwriters obtain control of these services and combine them with other services as part of delivering on their performance obligation and (b) based on the weight of the indicators in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC 606-10-55-39. Consequently, in accordance with FASB ASC 606-10-55-37B, the Company, as an underwriter, reflects its proportionate share of the underwriting costs on a gross basis. #### **(f) Income Taxes** At December 31 , 2023, management has determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition. This determination will always be subject to ongoing reevaluation as facts and circumstances may require. The Company remains subject to U.S. federal and state income tax audits subsequent to the date it commenced operations. In accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the Company evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Company, and has concluded that there were no uncertain tax positions that would have a material effect on the financial statements as of December 31 , 2023. #### **(g) Segment Reporting** The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which comprises of underwriting fees. 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 (see Note 7), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or make profit 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 this segment are the same as those described in the summary of other significant accounting policies noted above. {9}------------------------------------------------ ## **NCMGLLC (A Wholly Owned Subsidiary of NCMG Holdings LLC)** Notes to Financial Statement December 31 , 2024 #### **3.

Net Capital** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1 ), which requires the maintenance of minimum regulatory net capital , and also requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to regulatory net capital , both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. As of December 31 , 2024, the Company had net capital of \$166,004, which exceeded its requirement of \$100,000 by \$66,004. The ratio of aggregate indebtedness to regulatory net capital was 0.34 to 1. #### **5. Commitments & Contingencies** The Company may be subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. In management's opinion, based upon the information available as of the date these financials are available to be issued, there are no litigation claims against the Company that would have a material impact on the financial condition, operating results, or cash flows of the Company. #### **6. Concentrations** The Company did not earn revenue during the year ended December 31 , 2024. #### **7. Subsequent Events** The Company has evaluated the need for disclosures or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through February 17, 2025, the date these financials were issued, and no other subsequent events were present.
