(the "Company") as of December 31, 2024, 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, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. ### **Basis for Qualified Opinion** As described in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company was named as a co-defendant in a legal proceeding filed against an affiliated investment adviser. In February 2025, a court issued a judgement against the defendants in which the defendants are appealing. The affiliate has stated its intention to assume full financial responsibility for the material monetary judgement. However, the outcome of the appeal is uncertain, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether any liability should be recognized or disclosed in the financial statements. Accordingly, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments to the financial statements might be necessary. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements 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 statements are 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 statements, 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 statements. 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 statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. ### **Substantial Doubt About the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern** The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 6, the Company incurred a net loss and negative operating cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, as described in Note 8, the Company filed Form BDW with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority on March 11, 2025, to withdraw its broker-dealer registration. The Company is also a co-defendant in litigation that resulted in a material judgment. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the {5}------------------------------------------------ r after the date the financial statements Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one yea lso described in Note 6.

(the "Company") is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Company provides merchant banking and related financial advisory services to institutional clients and certain other investors. The Company does not hold customers' cash or securities. ### Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ### Basis of Presentation These financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), which 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. ### Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (a) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (b) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (c) determine the transaction price, (d) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (e) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. ### Advisory The Company provides advisory services in connection with sales of investment partnership interests. Revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized based on the services provided or when the transaction is consummated. However, for certain contracts, revenue is recognized over time for advisory arrangements in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company 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 specific contract. Retainers and other fees received from customers prior to recognizing revenue would be reflected as contract liabilities (deferred revenue in the statement of financial condition). The Company had no outstanding receivable balance as of January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024. The Company had no contract assets or contract liabilities as of January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024. {8}------------------------------------------------ ### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT** ### **FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024** ### Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) #### Income Taxes The Company follows an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on the enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce the deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The determination of the Company's provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items and the probability of sustaining uncertain tax positions. The benefits of certain tax positions are recorded in the Company's financial statements only after determining a more-likely-than-not probability that the uncertain tax positions will withstand challenge, if any, from tax authorities. When facts and circumstances change, the Company reassesses these probabilities and records any changes in the financial statements as appropriate. Accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters are classified as a component of income tax expense. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company is required to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. De-recognition of a tax benefit previously recognized could result in the Company recording a tax liability that would reduce stockholder's equity. Management's conclusions regarding this policy may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. At December 31, 2024, management has determined that the Company had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition. No interest expense or penalties have been recognized as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and files income tax returns in various U.S. state and local jurisdictions. Any potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, state and local tax laws. ### Current Expected Credit Loss ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses ("ASC 326") impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset. The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments, including fees and other receivables utilizing the CECL framework. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. Under the standard, the allowance for credit losses must be deducted from the amortized cost of the financial asset to present the net {9}------------------------------------------------ ### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT** ### **FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024** ### Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ### Current Expected Credit Loss (continued) amount expected to be collected. The statement of operations would reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that might have taken place during the period. The Company has not provided an allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2024. ### Note 3 - Income Taxes On April 24, 2024, the Company was notified by the State of California that the Company owed certain corporate income taxes were due for prior years and a lien of \$56,652 was placed on the Company's bank accounts. In December 2024, the State of California returned \$44,398 (for a tax payment of \$12,254) to the Company after the satisfactory completion of required tax filings and the dissolution of the Company's California state registration. ### Note 4 *-* Concentrations The Company maintains all of its cash balances in one financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not subject to any significant credit risk. ### Note 5 - Related Party Transactions The Company has entered into a management service agreement with The Silverfern Group MGMT, LLC, a New York limited liability company ("SGM"). The agreement calls for SGM to provide the Company with employees, and property and equipment to fulfill its day-to-day operations. In addition, the Company has also entered into agreements with certain affiliates to provide consulting and management services on specific engagements of the Company. An analysis of these amounts for the year ended December 31, 2024 is as follows: | Management Services | \$
- | |-----------------------|--------------| | Payroll Expense | 26,420 | | Other office expenses | 13,320 | | Rent Expense | 1,260 | | Total | \$
41,000 | Due from affiliate represents amounts advanced for future expenses to be incurred by affiliates on behalf of the Company. The amounts recognized in the Statement of Operations are not necessarily the amounts that would have been recognized by the Company had it incurred said expenses with unrelated third parties. {10}------------------------------------------------ ### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT** ### **FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024** ### Note 6 – Going Concern ASC -205 requires management to evaluate conditions or events that might raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss during the year, had negative cash flows from operations and had excess net capital of \$35,959 at December 31, 2024. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. To alleviate any doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the sole shareholder has committed to provide additional funding to support the Company operations, if necessary. ### Note 7 - Regulatory Requirements The Company is subject to the SEC Uniform Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) which requires the maintenance of a minimum net capital, as defined, of the greater of \$5,000 or 6-2/3 percent of aggregate indebtedness, whichever is greater, as these terms are defined. The rule also requires that equity capital may not be withdrawn if certain net capital requirements are not met. At December 31, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$40,959, which exceeds its requirements by \$35,959. During the period of April 24, 2024 to December 10, 2024 (See Note 3), the Company was in a net capital deficient position of (\$61,883) and did not conduct any business as a broker-dealer. The Company does not handle customer cash or securities. Accordingly, it had no obligations under SEC Rule 15c3-3. ### Note 8 – Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events from December 31, 2024 through the date the financial statements were issued and has noted that there are no additional events that require disclosure or adjustment to the financial statements other than: 1) on March 11, 2025 the Company filed Form BDW to terminate its registration with the SEC and its membership in FINRA; and 2) the Company was named as a co-defendant in a legal proceeding filed against an affiliated investment adviser. In February 2025, a court issued a judgement against the defendants in which the defendants are appealing. The affiliate has stated its intention to assume full financial responsibility for the material monetary judgement. Due to the ongoing appeal and uncertain outcome, the Company cannot determine the likelihood of any potential Company obligation, and consequently no liability has been recorded on the financial statements.
