LLC (the "Company") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of C.E. Pfeifer Holdings, LLC (the "Parent"), a holding company, who is 99% owned by M.M. Dillon & Co. Group LLC. M.M. Dillon & Co. Group LLC (the "Group") is a Stamford, Connecticut, based investment banking firm, which provides a wide array of investment banking services to middle market institutional clients. The Company operates as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is a registered broker dealer pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). The Company provides investment banking advisory and private placement financing services. ### **2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ### *Basis of presentation* The accompanying financial statement of the Company have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. ### *Revenue recognition* The Company's advisory fees from investment banking engagements are recognized at a point in time when the related transaction is completed, as the performance obligation is to successfully broker a specific transaction. In accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC Topic 606") revenues from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the promised services to the customers. A service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised service. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring the Company's progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the services to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those promised services (i.e., the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration, if any. Revenue from investment banking advisory services is recognized when the services are rendered and related expenses are recorded when incurred. Deal fees are recorded when earned and related expenses are recorded when incurred. Since the Company's provision of financing services involves significant resources, its revenues tend to be concentrated. {7}------------------------------------------------ ### **M.M. DILLON & CO. LLC NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2021** ### **2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** *(continued)* ### *Concentration of risk* The Company maintains cash in bank accounts with a single financial institution. The balances are insured by the FDIC up to \$250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. ### *Use of estimates* The preparation of financial statement in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ### *Allowance for Doubtful Accounts* Periodically, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and, if applicable, provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to amounts estimated to be uncollectible. The Company's estimate is based on a review of the current status of the individual accounts receivable. ### *Income taxes* As a single member limited liability company, the Company does not incur any liability for federal or state income taxes because all income, deductions and credits are reportable by its member. ### **3.
