For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

#### **Use of Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.

#### **Property and Equipment**

Property and Equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense was \$1,594 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

#### **Income Taxes**

The Company has elected to be taxed as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Coe. Under those provisions, the Company does not pay federal income taxes, instead, the limited liability members include their respective shares of the Company's income in their individual income tax returns.

The Company files income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to the U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2017.
