R~venue Recognition:

The Company provides advisory services on mergers and acquisitions, restructurings, valuations, and capital raisings. Revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers,* using its 5 step recognition criteria process. Revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction) or the contract is cancelled. 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 judgement 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 are reflected as contract liabilities.

Receivable From Non-Customers:

Management closely monitors outstanding accounts receivable, and charges off to expense all balances that are determined to ·be uncollectible.

Income Taxes:

A

The Company does not record a provision for income taxes because the partner reports the partnership's income or loss on their income tax return. The financial statements reflect the partnership's transactions-without adjustment, if any, required for income tax purposes.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid securities purchased with maturities of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
