#### **AlMax Financial Solutions, L.L.C. Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2020**

#### NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of the Business

AlMax Financial Solutions, L.L.C. (the Company) is a Registered Broker Dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). The Company was formed in the State of New Jersey on May 4, 2000, is located in Clinton, New Jersey and is licensed to do business in eleven states. Its primary business is marketing mutual funds, variable annuities, and life insurance products. The Company serves as placement agent for such products. As a placement agent, the Company does not receive funds from clients, but rather funds are transmitted directly by mutual fund purchasers to the issuers' escrow agents or transfer agents.

The Company will be dissolved by December 31, 2025 unless otherwise terminated as provided for in the Company's operating agreement. Under the laws of the State of New Jersey, the liability of the Company's member is limited to his investment in the Company.

#### Basis of Accounting

The Company employs the accrual method of accounting for financial reporting purposes.

#### Commissions Receivable

The Company's commissions receivable consist principally of commissions due from issuers of mutual funds and variable annuities. Management periodically assesses the collectibility of accounts receivable based upon the financial strength of the issuers of mutual funds and variable annuities. Management believes no allowance for doubtful accounts is required as of December 31, 2020.

#### Trading Securities

Under F ASB ASC 320-10-25, securities bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Trading securities consist of a mutual fund with readily determinable fair value at December 31, 2020. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized currently in income from operations.

#### Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of cash, receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and margin payable approximate their carrying values because of the short term maturity of these financial instruments.

#### Income Taxes

The Company is a single member limited liability company and, as such, is considered a disregarded entity for federal and state income tax purposes. Taxable income of the Company is passed through to the member and reported on his individual income tax returns. Accordingly no income tax expense has been recorded in the financial statements.

#### Rental Obligations

The Company shares its office space with a related party under the terms of an expense sharing agreement, which is cancelable with reasonable notice. This agreement is not subject to ASC 842. The Company records shared expenses monthly as billed.

{10}------------------------------------------------

#### AlMax Financial Solutions, L.L.C. Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2020

#### NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

#### Uncertain Tax Positions

Per F ASB ASC 7 40-10, disclosure is not required of an uncertain tax position unless it is considered probable that a claim will be asserted and there is a more-likely-than-not possibility that the outcome will be unfavorable. Using this guidance, as of December 31, 2020, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Generally the Company's Federal and State tax returns filed after 2016 remain subject to examination by their respective taxing authorities. Neither of the Company's Federal or State tax returns are currently under examination.

#### Commissions and Revenue Recognition

The Company earns commisions by referring client transactions in mutual funds, variable annuities and life insurance products. Commisions revenue is recognized in the period earned when the Company's performance obligations are completed, typically the client's trade date.

The Comapny also earns annual trailing commissions and is responsible for ongoing client relations duties, which are recorded in those period as the services are peformed. These trailing revenues and expenses are subject to material variables; therefore, uncertain to estimate in advance.

Commissions expeneses are recorded in the same period as the associated revenue.

#### Proprietary Securities Transactions

Proprietary securities transactions are recorded on the trade date including realized gains and losses.

#### Estimates and Uncertainties

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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results, as determined at a later date, could differ from those estimates.

{11}------------------------------------------------

#### AIMax Financial Solutions, L.L.C. Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2020

#### NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

#### Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,* fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. A fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs are to be used when available.

Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

*Level 1* - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these investments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

*Level 2* - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

*Level 3* - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

{12}------------------------------------------------

#### NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

#### Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can very from investment to investment and are affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of investment, whether the investment is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and the other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company had no investments that would be categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2020.

#### Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

#### CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK

The Company's financial instruments that are potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and commissions receivable. The Company places its cash equivalents with quality financial institutions. At times, such cash equivalents may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit, or in some cases, may be completely uninsured. The Company believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to its cash, cash equivalents and commissions receivable. It is not the Company's policy to require collateral for receivables outstanding.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, 97% of commission revenue was derived from two major sources.

{13}------------------------------------------------

#### AIMax Financial Solutions, L.L.C. Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2020

#### FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy as described in the Company's significant accounting policies in the NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES note. The following table presents information about the Company's assets measured at value as of December 31, 2020:

|                                                         | Level I      | Level2 | Level 3 | Total        |
|---------------------------------------------------------|--------------|--------|---------|--------------|
| Securities owned, at market value<br>Money market funds | \$<br>10,558 | \$     | \$      | \$<br>10,558 |
| Total                                                   | 10.558<br>\$ | \$     | \$      | 10.558<br>\$ |

#### NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-l), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. Rule 15c3-1 also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn or cash dividends paid ifthe resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. Net capital and aggregate indebtedness change day to day, but on December 31, 2020, the Company had net capital of \$9,304, which was \$4,304 in excess of its required net capital·· of \$5,000; and the Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness (\$4,190) to net capital was 0.45 to 1.

#### RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company leases office space in Clinton, NJ, from a related party on a month to month basis currently at a rate of \$500 per month. Rent expense under this agreement amounted to \$1,500 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The related party also provides the Company with certain administrative support services on a month to month basis. Expenses under this arrangement amounted to \$1,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company paid commissions totaling \$0 to its member. At December 31, 2020 the Company owed the member \$1,500 for accrued commissions and \$0 for expense reimbursements.

It is possible that the terms of certain of the related party transactions are not the same as those that would result for transactions among wholly unrelated parties.

#### SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated events subsequent to the Statement of Financial Condition date for items requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements. The evaluation was performed through the date of the financial statements. Based upon this review, the Company has determined that there were no events which took place that would have a material impact on its financial statements.

{14}------------------------------------------------

#### **AlMax Financial Solutions, L.L.C. Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2020**

#### COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has no commitments, no contingent liabilities and had not been named as a defendant in any lawsuit at December 31, 2020 or during the year then ended.

#### GUARANTEES

F ASB ASC 460, Guarantees, requires the Company to disclose information about its obligations under certain guarantee arrangements. F ASB ASC 460 defines guarantees as contracts and indemnification agreements that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying factor (such as an interest or foreign exchange rate, security or commodity price, an index or the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a specified event) related to an asset, liability or equity security of a guaranteed party. This guidance also defines guarantees as contracts that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on another entity's failure to perform under an agreement as well as indirect guarantee of indebtedness of others.

The Company has issued no guarantees at December 31, 2020, or during the year then ended.

#### RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the new FASB accounting standard ASC 842, Leases, which governs the accounting and reporting ofleases by lessees. Lessor accounting and reporting is largely unchanged. ASC 842 generally applies to leases that have a lease term greater than 12 months at lease commencement, or that include an option to purchase the underlying asset the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. ASC 842's principal changes are: 1) recognizing leases on the Statement of Financial Condition by recording a Right-of-use asset and a Lease liability; 2) changes in lease expense recognition during the lease term based on its classification as an Operating lease or Finance lease; and 3) expanded disclosures of lease agreements, costs and other matters.

The Company is a lessee in a short-term non-cancelable operating lease for office space not subject to ASC 842, as disclosed in the Note "NATURE OF THE BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES". The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a significant effect on the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

{19}------------------------------------------------

# **REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Members of AIMax Financial Solutions, LLC

We have reviewed management's statements, included in the accompanying Exemption Report, in which (1) AIMax Financial Solutions, LLC identified the following provisions of 17 C.F.R. §15c3-3(k) under which AIMax Financial Solutions, LLC claimed an exemption from 17 C.F.R. §240.15c3-3(k)(1) (exemption provisions) and (2) AIMax Financial Solutions, LLC stated that AIMax Financial Solutions, LLC met the identified exemption provisions throughout the year ended December 31, 2020 without exception. AIMax Financial Solutions, LLC's management is responsible for compliance with the exemption provisions and its statements.

Our review was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included inquiries and other required procedures to obtain evidence about AIMax Financial Solutions, LLC's compliance with the exemption provisions. A review is substantially less in scope than an examination, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on management's statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to management's statements referred to above for them to be fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the provisions set forth in paragraph (k)(1) of Rule 15c3-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
