#### **Basis for Opinion**

This 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.

## **NOTE 1** - **SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

### **Organization and Nature of Business**

The Company was organized on July 28, 2000 as a Delaware limited liabi lity company to conduct business as a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is a limited purpose broker-dealer whose primary activity is the marketing of funds. As a limited liability company, the Member's liability is limited to its investment.

### **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 amount of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the repo11ed amounts of revenues and expenses duri ng the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### **Revenue**

The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with ASC 606 *Revenue from Contracts with Customers* which creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fa ll within its scope. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies performance obligations by transferring control over goods or services to a customer.

The Company receives referral fees that are non-refundable fixed fees paid upon execution of the agreement with the customer. The Company recognizes a portion of such revenue at a point in time upon satisfaction of certain distinct performance obligations. The Company also recognizes a portion of referral fees monthly over the term of the agreement, as the related performance obligations are simultaneously provided to the customer and consumed by the customer. In some circumstances, significant judgment is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specifi ed contract. Referral fees received from customers prior to recognizing revenue are reflected as unearned revenue on the accompanying statement of financial condition.

No valuation allowance was necessary as of March 3 I, 2020.

### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)**

#### **NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES**

The Company is a single member LLC for federal and state income tax purposes. A single member LLC is treated as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. As such, all income or losses are reported on the Member's income tax returns. Accordingly, no income tax expense has been recorded in the financial statements.

The Company has evaluated all tax positions, including its status as a single member LLC, and has concluded that the Company has no uncertain tax positions that need to be evaluated under the Income Taxes Topic of F ASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 740 ("F ASB ASC740").

Events subsequent to March 31, 2021 have been evaluated by management through the date the financial statements were issued, for the purpose of identifyi ng events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements for the year ended March 3 1, 2021.

## **NOTE 6- UNCERTAINTY**

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COYI D-19) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States. The Company is monitoring the outbreak of COYID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and its impact on operations, financial position, cash flows, customer trends, customer payments, and the industry in general. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company's operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the date of this report. While there could ultimately be a material impact on operations and liquidity of the Company, at the time of issuance, the impact could not be determined.
