# **WaveEdge Partners, LLC Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2023**

#### **Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business**

WaveEdge Partners, LLC, (the "Company"), is a Delaware Limited Liability Company, formed February 27, 2003 and approved by the NASD on October 16, 2003 to operate as a broker/dealer. The Company is a registered brokerdealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA); and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) and is engaged in the business of Investment banking and conducting private placements of securities. The company does not hold funds or securities. The Company has operated under its former names, WCP Securities, LLC (from 2010-2012); Skyline Capital Securities, LLC (from 2012 – 2014); and Mavericks Capital Securities, LLC (2014 – 2017).

#### **Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies**

**Basis of Presentation** – The Company is engaged in business as a securities broker/dealer, which comprises the following classes of services, including:

● Broker or dealer selling tax shelters or limited partnerships in primary distributions

● Private placements of securities

**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 amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Revenue Recognition** – Based upon the income reported, Investment banking fees are contingent on and recognized upon the successful completion of a project. Investment banking fees are generated from services related to a limited number of transactions. Due to the nature of the Company's business, the size of any one transaction may be significant to the Company's operations for the period. Private placement revenue is recognized on the closing date of the transaction. The Company considers revenue to be generated when the BD satisfies a performance obligation. Revenue is considered earned when a)

{6}------------------------------------------------

Evidence of an arrangement exits; b) The Fee is fixed or able to be determinable; c) Performance has occurred; and d) Collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recorded when payment is received and deposited.

**Income Taxes** – The Company, with the consent of its Member, has elected to be a California Limited Liability Company. For tax purposes, the Company is treated like a sole proprietorship. Therefore, in lieu of business income taxes, the Member is taxed on the Company's taxable income. Therefore, no provision for Federal Income Taxes is included in these financial statements. The State of California has a similar treatment, although it also imposes a provision for a variable fee based on gross California receipts in excess of \$250,000 and an annual LLC tax of \$800. The State of Delaware imposes an annual LLC tax of \$300.

The accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provides accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the Company in its Federal and State organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The Company is subject to examinations by U.S. Federal and State tax authorities for three years and four years respectively after the tax returns are filed.

**Statement of Changes in Financial Condition –** The Company has defined cash equivalents as highly liquid investments, with original maturities of less than three months that are not held for sale in the ordinary course of business.

### **Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606, also referred to as Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 ("ASC Topic 606"), supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. ASC Topic 606 requires a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of 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. ASC Topic 606 is effective for the Company as of its year ended December 31, 2024. ASC Topic 606 had no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

{7}------------------------------------------------

## **Note 4 - Fair Value**

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market, income or cost approach, as specified by FASB ASC 820, are used to measure fair value.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access.
- Level 2 inputs are inputs (other than quoted prices included within level 1) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. (The unobservable inputs should be developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data).

The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023.

## **Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis As of December 31, 2023**

| Assets              | Level 1     | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total       |
|---------------------|-------------|---------|---------|-------------|
| Cash and securities | \$15,135.67 |         |         | \$15,135.67 |

{8}------------------------------------------------

## **Note 5 – Subsequent Events**

Management has reviewed the results of operations for the period of time from its year end December 31, 2023 through February 29, 2024, the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that no adjustments are necessary to the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements. No other subsequent events occurred, the nature of which would require disclosure.
