The Company does not carry securities accounts for customers or perform custodial functions relating to customer securities and does not claim exemption from the Customer Protection Rule but limits its business activities to those specified in footnote 7 4 of SEC Release No. 34-70073. The Company provides financial advisory and investment banking services to aviation and related industries as well as small and medium-size corporations. Services consist of secured asset-based financings, private and public debt/equity offerings and placements, corporate finance and merger and acquisition advisory services. ## Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ### Statement of Cash Flows For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and bank money market accounts with banks or financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less. ## Accrual Basis of Accounting The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company's year-end is December 31. #### Recent accounting pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued (ASU) 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)". This update includes a lease accounting model that recognizes two types of leases - finance leases and operating leases. The standard requires that a lessee recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities relating to leases with terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease, and is effective for the Company beginning in January 2019. The Company does not have any direct leases, and any expenses related to leases is through the expense sharing agreement with the Parent. {7}------------------------------------------------ ## Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ## Income Taxes The Company is a Limited Liability Company. Therefore, no provisions for federal or state taxes are made by the Company. Members of a Limited Liability Company are individually taxes on their pro-rata share of the Company's earnings. The Company is liable for taxes in several states and New York City. Total tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 is approximately \$825. ## 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 and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. ## Note 3 - Regulatory Requirements ### Net Capital Requirements The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission basic Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. Net capital and the related net capital ratio may fluctuate on a daily basis. At December 31, 2020 the Company had net capital of \$47,655, which was \$42,655 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital at December 31, 2020 was 53.92%. ## Exemption from Rule 15c3-3 The Company is does not claim exemption from the Customer Protection Rule but limits its business activities to those specified in footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34- 70073. {8}------------------------------------------------ ## Note 4 - Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains cash in bank accounts which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any loss in this account and believes it is not subject to any significant credit risk. ### Note 5 - Related Party Transactions Pursuant to a service agreement, the Company's affiliate provides various services and other operating assistance to the Company. These include professional fees, use of fixed assets, travel, insurance, subscriptions, taxes, personnel, benefits and other general and administrative services. The total amount of intercompany charges incurred by the Company was approximately \$441,612. Approximately \$258 was due by the Company to the affiliate related to the service agreement as of December 31, 2020. ### Note 6 - Member's Equity During the year 2020, the Company dividend to the Parent \$92,000. Also during the year 2020 the Parent dividend \$534,266 to the Company in the forms or cash infusions and forgiveness. ## Note 7 - Fair Value Effective January 1, 2008, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820 had no effect on the Company's financial statements. ASC 820 accomplished the following key objectives: Defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; Establishes a three-level hierarchy (the "Valuation Hierarchy") for fair value Measurements; Requires consideration of the Company's creditworthiness when valuing liabilities; and Expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value. {9}------------------------------------------------ The Valuation Hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument's categorization within the Valuation Hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the Valuation Hierarchy and the distribution of the Company's financial assets within it are as follows: Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets of liabilities in active markets. Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology included quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset of liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3- inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the balance sheet, which approximates fair value due to their short-term, highly liquid nature. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, account receivable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and deferred revenue. ## Note 8 - Risk and Uncertainties - COVID-19 Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the pandemic caused by the spread of COVID-19 has impacted most countries, communities, and markets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, or prospects will depend on numerous evolving factors that are out of our control and that we are not able to predict at this time. #### Note 9 - Uncertain Tax Positions The Company's federal, state, and local tax returns are subject to possible examination by the taxing authorities until expiration of the related statutes of limitations on those tax returns. In general, the federal and state income tax returns have a three-year statute of limitations. The Company would recognize accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of the income tax provision. #### Note 10 - Subsequent Events These financial statements were approved by management and available for issuance on February 27, 2021. Subsequent events have been evaluated through that date. Source: SEC EDGAR via Adviser Search (https://search.stillhousedata.com). Agents: see https://search.stillhousedata.com/llms.txt.
