## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

### **FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022**

### **1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS**

Akin Bay Company LLC (the "Company") was Organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of New York on June 19, 1996. The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). The Company primarily engages in providing investment banking and advisory services to its clients. The Company is exempt from rule 15c3-3 of the SEC under paragraph (k)(2)(i) of that rule.

### **2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

# *Basis of Accounting*

Revenues and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

### *Cash and Cash Equivalents*

The Company considers all highly liquid investments, with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

#### *Accounts Receivable*

Investment banking income due but not yet **received** that is expected to be collected within one year is recorded as accounts receivable at net rea.lizable value. In this situation, the transaction closes but there are certain contingent milestones, the Company will not record, the receivable until all contingencies are met. Ifamounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.

#### *Property and Equipment*

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation for property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes at rates based on the following estimated useful lives:

|                        | Life                      |  |
|------------------------|---------------------------|--|
|                        | Lesser of remaining lease |  |
| Leasehold improvements | tenn or life of asset     |  |
| Office equipment       | 5                         |  |
| Furniture and fixtures | 5                         |  |

## **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022**

# **2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd)**

### *Consulting Fees*

The majority of consulting fees are related to independent third parties providing financial analysis.

### *Significant Judgements*

Revenue from contracts with customers includes fees from investment banking. 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 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.

### *Revenue Recognition*

The Company provides investment banking and advisory services. Revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangements is completed (the closing date of the transaction).

For certain contracts, revenue is recognized over time for advisory arrangements in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. Retainers and other fees received from customers are recognized revenue when 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. At year end, no deferred revenue or open contracts exist.

Advisory fees and services include financial analysis, structuring of capital, presentations and strategy for raising capital. Investment banking usually cover some of the same services and closing a transaction, such as raising debt or M&A.

### *Leases*

The Company leases certain buildings and vehicles. The determination of whether an arrangement is a lease is made at the lease's inception. Under ASC 842, a contract is ( or contains) a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is defined under the standard as having both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. Management only reassesses its determination if the terms and conditions of the contract are changed.

# **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

### **FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022**

# **2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd)**

### *Leases (Cont 'd)*

Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the implicit rate when it is readily determinable.

Since most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, to determine the present value of lease payments, management uses the Company's incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement. Operating lease ROU assets also includes any lease payments made and excludes any lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option.

### *Income Taxes*

The Company is classified as a Partnership for Federal and New York State tax purposes, whereby the Company's income or loss is reported by the partners on their own income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision has been made for Federal and New York State taxes. The Company remains liable for New York City Unincorporated Business tax. During 2022, the Company tax due of \$30,306. As of December 31, 2022, the Company's tax years for 2021, 2020, and 2019 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.

The Company has evaluated its current tax positions and has concluded that as of December 31, 2022, the Company does not have any significant uncertain tax positions for which a reserve would be necessary.

# *Use of Estimates*

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company engages in various investment banking and advisory services. In the event customers do not fulfill their obligations, the Company may be exposed to small amount of risk relating to its out-of-pocket expenses. The risk of default depends on the creditworthiness of the customers. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of each customer.
