Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ### Current Expected Credit Losses The Company identified accounts receivable and unbilled services in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13. It assessed historical cash collections, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts. The allowance for credit losses is determined based on the Company's expectations of collectability, using the Current Expected Credit Losses framework. Factors such as historical data, credit quality, balance age, and economic conditions are considered when estimating the allowance. As of December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a \$250,000 allowance for credit losses, represent's estimate of expected losses on outstanding receivables. There were no significant changes in credit risk assumptions during the year, but based on updated loss data and evaluations, the Company recognized \$434,870 of bad debt expense for the period. ### Disaggregation of Revenue The Company disaggregates revenue based on service line and believes the same information provides a reasonable representation of how performance obligations relate to the nature, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows. Revenue recognized by service line is presented below: | | Year Ended | | |-----------------------------|------------|-------------------| | | | December 31, 2025 | | Mergers and acquisitions | ક્ષ્ | 62,679,352 | | PV Secondary market trading | | 474,118 | | Transaction opinions | | 250,000 | | | S | 63,403,470 | ### Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported anounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company is subject to uncertainties, such as the impact of future events, economic, environmental, and political factors, and changes in the business climate; therefore, actual results may differ from those estimate in a given range is deemed to be better than any other when estimating contingent liabilities, the low end of the range is accrued. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional in obtained and as the Company's operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warant.
