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 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. {9}------------------------------------------------ # 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. Fan varia le amounts, as the uncertainty is dependent on the value of the shares at future points in time is vell 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, 2021 the Company had \$61,990 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. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## 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.
