The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) and Securities Insurance Protection Corporation (SIPC). ### Revenue Recognition ### *Significant Judgements* Revenue from contracts with customers includes commission income and fees from investment banking and asset management services. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. 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; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events. ### *Commissions* *Brokerage commissions.* The Company buys and sells securities on behalf of its customers. Each time a customer enters into a buy or sell transaction, the Company charges a commission. Commissions and related clearing expenses are recorded on the trade date. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership of the securities have been transferred to/from the customer. {8}------------------------------------------------ #### **NOTE A-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)** *Sale of investment company shares.* The Company enters into arrangements with managed accounts or other pooled investment vehicles (funds) to distribute shares to investors. The Company may receive distribution fees paid by the fund up front, over time, upon the investor's exit from the fund (that is, a contingent deferred sales charge), or as a combination thereof. The Company believes that its performance obligation is the sale of securities to investors and as such this is fulfilled on the trade date. Any fixed amounts are recognized on the trade date and variable are recognized to the extent it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. For variable amounts, as the uncertainty is dependent on the value of the shares at future points in time as well as the length of time the investor remains in the fund, both of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence, the Company does not believe that it can overcome this constraint until the market value of the fund and the investor activities are known, which are usually monthly or quarterly. Distribution fees recognized in the current period are primarily related to performance obligations that have been satisfied in prior periods. #### *Asset Management* *Investment advisory fees.* The Company provides investment advisory services on a daily basis. The Company believes the performance obligation for providing advisory services is satisfied over time because the customer is receiving and consuming the benefits as they are provided by the Company. Fee arrangements are based on a percentage applied to the customer's assets under management. Fees are received monthly and are recognized as revenue at that time as they relate specifically to the services provided in that period, which are distinct from the services provided in other periods. Fees received prior to recognizing revenue are reflected as contract liabilities. At December 31 , 2022 the Company had \$56,941 as contract liabilities. #### Investments Marketable securities are valued at fair value. The resulting difference between cost and fair value is included in income. #### Fixed Assets Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of five to ten years. #### Use of Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires that management makes estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. {9}------------------------------------------------ ### **NOTE B -RECEIVABLE FROM BROKERS, DEALERS AND CLEARING ORGANIZATIONS** Accounts receivable from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations result from the Company's normal trading activities. The Company considers all accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. #### **NOTE C -INVENTORY POSITION AT CLEARING CORPORATION** Fair value is the price that would be used to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets recorded at fair value are categorized upon the level of judgment associated with the observable inputs to measure their value. All of the company's securities are measured as level one inputs which use unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. There were no transfers of invested assets between fair value level categories during the year. Marketable securities owned at December 31, 2022, consist of investment securities at quoted market values. | Readily marketable (allowable): | Market Value | Cost | Unrealized | |---------------------------------|--------------|-----------|------------| | Corporate stocks and bonds | \$383,263 | \$293,934 | \$89,329 | | Bank insured deposits | .Q | .Q | .Q | | | \$383,263 | \$293,934 | \$89,329 | Fair Value Measurement at Reporting Date Using: | Description | 2022 | Quoted Price in Active Markets | | |--------------------------|-----------|--------------------------------|--| | | | For Identical Assets Level 1 | | | Securities held for sale | \$383,263 | \$383,263 | | | Total | \$383,263 | \$383,263 | | #### **NOTED-FIXED ASSETS** Fixed assets include property and equipment.

The contribution made for the year ended December 31, 2022, was \$14,030. {11}------------------------------------------------ ### **NOTE~STOCKHOLDERS' AGREEMENT** The stockholders of the Company have an agreement stipulating, among other things, the terms under which the Company's stock can be sold or transferred. The agreement provides that a stockholder intending to dispose of an interest in the Company must first off er his stock to the other stockholders at a price determined in accordance with the agreement. Any shares not purchased by the remaining stockholders will be purchased by the Company. The agreement also provides that the other stockholders may redeem the shares owned by a stockholder upon death or disability. ### **NOTE J -LEASE COMMITMENTS** The Company entered into a lease agreement effective July L 2006, for lease of office space.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Liberty Capital Investment Corporation as of December 3 I, 2022, and the results of its 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 Liberty Capital Investment Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Liberty Capital Investment Corporation's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to Liberty Capital Investment Corporation in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we 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. Our 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. Our 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. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. ### **Auditor's Report on Supplemental Information** The supplemental information contained in Schedule I - Computation of Net Capital and Schedule II - Reconciliation of Computation of Net Capital under Rule 17a-5 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of Liberty Capital Investment Corporation's financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of Liberty Capital Investment Corporation's management. Our 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.
