Advertising Advertising costs for 2020 were \$8,530. These costs are expensed as incurred. ### H. Income Taxes Chapin Davis and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return, whereas each company frles its own state income tax retum. Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities included in the consolidated financial statements are calculated utilizing currently enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities included in the consolidated financial statements are expected to be realized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with FASB guidance. Using that guidance,iax positions initially need to Le recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more-Iik"ly+hun-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. As of December 31,2020,the Company had no uncertain tax positions, or interest and penalties that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in ihe consolidated financial statements. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examination for any years prior to 2016 for federal and state tax purposes. ### l. Statement of Cash Flows For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company has defined cash equivalents as cash in checking u.rouni, and held in cash accounts at brokerage firms. lt does not include money market investments held at the clearing broker. ### J. New Accounting Standards Adopted In February Z0l6,the FASB amended the Leases topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to revise certain asiects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leasing transactions. The amendments are effectivi for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has implemented the new standard and has reflected the impact of lt on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. {13}------------------------------------------------ ## CHAPIN DAVIS,INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS \_ CONTINUED DECEMBER 3I,2O2O # 2. Fair Value Measurements The FASB accounting topic on fair value measurements and disclosures provides the framework fbr measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels ofthe fair value hierarchy in accordance with FASB guidance are described as follows: - o Level I Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. This level includes common stocks, corporate bonds, mutual funds, or money market funds based on the closing price reported in the active market where the securities are traded. - o Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation, or other means. - o Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assets recorded at fair value include certain investments segregated and on deposit with a clearing organization and securities owned. The Company uses prices obtained from an independent clearing firm to measure the fair value of certain investment securities. The Company validates prices received from the clearing firm using various methods including comparison to quoted market prices, where available, and review of other relevant market data including implied yields of major categories of securities. The Company does not adjust the prices received from the independent clearing firm unless such prices are inconsistent with FASB guidance and result in a material difference in the recorded amounts. At December 31, 2020, the Company did not adjust prices received from the independent clearing firm. All of the company's assets valued at fair value consisted of U.S. Treasury money market shares valued at level l, {14}------------------------------------------------ ## CHAPIN DAVIS,INC.

Receivables From Clearins Organization and Broker Dealer Receivables from clearing organization represent comntissions ancl f'ees. #### 4. PPP Loan On May 1,2020, The Company secured \$785,447 with Bank of America (the "Lender") under the Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") that authorized forgivable loans to small businesses. This loan can be used to cover certain expenses during the COVID-I9 crisis. The loan amounts will be forgiven as long as the loan proceeds are used to cover payroll costs, rent, certain mortgage interest and utility costs over a period specified in the loan document after the loan is made. If not used for the prescribed purpose, the loan is due on May l,2022,along with interest calculated at the rate of loh per annum. #### Employee Benefit Plan 5. The Company has a aOlft) savings-profrt sharing plan ("the Plan"). Each participating employee may be permitted to contribute a portion of his compensation to the Plan. Within Plan limits, the Company may contribute on behalf of each eligible participant a matching percentage of the participant's contribution. In addition, the Company may make annual contributions on a discretionary basis. The Company contributed \$82,210 to the Plan for the year ended December 31,2020. #### Income Taxes 6.

Credit Risk In the normal course of business, Chapin Davis's securities activities through its clearing firm involve execution, settlement and financing of various securities transactions for customers. These activities may expose Chapin Davis to risk in the event customers, other brokers and dealers, bank depositories or clearing organizations are unable to fulfill contractual obligations. The Company does not have any significant concentration in the value of business with a particular customer, group of customers or products. The Company has concentrated its credit risk by maintaining deposits in a financial institution and its clearing broker. The deposits at the financial institution may at times exceed amounts covered by the insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC). The deposits at the clearing broker may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the Securities Investment Protection Corporation (SIPC). The Company has not experienced a loss in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk to cash. ### 9.
