Glen Allen, Virginia ### **Opinion on the Financial Statement** We have audited the accompanying statement of financial condition of Dominion Partners, L.C. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statement"). In our opinion, the financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. #### **Basis for Opinion** The financial statement is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statement based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have served as the Company's auditor since 2016.

Summary of Significant Account Policies:** **Nature of Business**: Dominion Partners, L.C. (the "Company"), is a broker-dealer organized in the Commonwealth of Virginia on July 16, 2006. As a broker-dealer, the Company is subject to regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company is an investment banking firm that provides merger and acquisition and financial restructuring advisory services. Its customers are principally small and medium sized businesses in the eastern United States. **Risks and Uncertainties:** Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash balances in one financial institution insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to \$250,000. The Company periodically has funds in excess of federally insured limits. **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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. **Cash:** The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. **Accounts Receivable**: Receivables represent amounts due for expense reimbursements related to investment banking transactions. The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13 - Current Expected Losses ("CECL") for determining future expected credit losses for trade and other receivables. The Company considers a receivable past due when it is not paid at the closing of a transaction. The Company considers an allowance for credit losses based on factors surrounding the credit risk of customers, past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts concerning the future, and other information. There were no accounts receivable at December 31, 2021. **Property and Equipment:** Purchases of property and equipment in excess of \$2,500 are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 to 7 years. **Income Taxes:** The Company is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, and its partners report their respective share of the Company's taxable income or loss on their income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the accompanying financial statements. {7}------------------------------------------------ #### Notes to Financial Statement, Continued ### **1. Summary of Significant Account Policies, Continued:** **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 more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense and liability in the current year. Management has evaluated the effect of guidance surrounding uncertain income tax positions and concluded that Company has no significant financial statement exposure to uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2021. **Subsequent Events:** On January 3, 2022, management approved and distributed \$180,000 to members. Management has evaluated subsequent events through January 20, 2022, the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that other than noted above, no additional disclosures are necessary. # **2. Right of Use Asset and Operating Lease Liability:** The Company's lease portfolio consists of one operating lease for office space in Richmond, Virginia. The lease expired July 31, 2021, at which time it was renewed through September 30, 2024. In accordance with ASU 2016-02, a right of use asset and lease liability were recorded at the time the lease was renewed based on the present value of the future lease payments using a discount rate of 3.5%, the Company's estimated incremental borrowing rate. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for non-lease components for all asset classes. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of the operating lease liability was \$17,242 for the year ended December 31, 2021. Future maturities of the operating lease obligation as of December 31, 2021 are as follows: | Year | Amount | |---------------------------------|----------------------------------| | 2022
2023
2024 | \$
20,859
21,035
15,961 | | Less: discount to present value | (5,325)
\$ 52,530 | {8}------------------------------------------------ #### Notes to Financial Statement, Continued #### **3. Employee Retirement Plan:** The Company sponsors a SIMPLE IRA savings plan which covers all eligible employees. The Company matches contributions up to 3% of base salary. ### **4. Regulatory Requirements:** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital of not more than 15 to 1. At December 31, 2021, the Company has net capital of \$343,049, which was \$338,049 in excess of required minimum net capital of \$5,000. The Company's net capital ratio was 0.00 to 1. The Company has no obligation under Rule 15c3-3 to prepare the Computation of Reserve Requirements Pursuant to Rule 15c3-3. #### **5. Guarantees:** Consistent with customary investment banking practices, the Company provides certain indemnifications to its clients, many of which are generally limited to the amount of fees paid to the Company. Dominion Partners maintains certain liability insurance coverages and believes that its indemnification obligations to its clients would generally not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.
