Income Taxes: The Company has elected to be an S-Corporation. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders of an S-Corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company's taxable income. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been included within the financial statement.

Income Tax Uncertainties: The Company follows FASB guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained "when challenged" or "when examined" by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the morelikely-then-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense and liability in the current year. Management evaluated the company's tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. The Company is currently not under audit by any tax jurisdiction.

New Accounting Guidance: In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13 - Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL"). The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach to the earliest period presented. This guidance requires the use of the current expected credit loss model that is based on expected losses, rather than incurred losses, to determine its allowance for credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes other receivables and certain off-balance sheet arrangements. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statement.

The Company has minimal historical credit losses. There are no current indications of non-receipt from counterparties. The Company projects no probability of future losses related to these balances. Due to these factors, as well as the short-term nature of these receivables, management has determined that these receivables have minimal credit risk and therefore, no allowance was deemed necessary on December 31, 2020.

Leases: The Company records all leasing activity with initial terms in excess of twelve months on the statement of financial condition with a right to use asset and a lease liability based on the net present value of rental payments.

Subsequent Events: Management has evaluated subsequent events through February 17, 2021, the date the financial statement was issued, and has determined that there are no subsequent events to be reported in the accompanying financial statement.
