### **1. Organization and Nature of Business**

Cue Capital Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was formed on September 4, 2003. The partnership is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is also a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC").

The Partnership's operations consist primarily of introducing leading institutional investors to fund managers that make private equity, real estate and other non-traditional investments. The Partnership also provides advice to fund managers regarding ways to improve their methods of raising capital.

The Partnership's federal, state and local tax returns are subject to possible examination by the taxing authorities until expiration of the related statutes of limitations on those tax returns. In general, the federal and state income tax returns have a three year statute of limitations. The Company would recognize accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any, as part of the income tax provision.

#### **2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

#### *Basis of Presentation*

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

### *Use of Estimates*

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### *Cash and Cash Equivalents*

Cash consists of deposits with banks. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Partnership considers as short term, highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

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

# Summary of Significant Accounting Policie (Continued)

### *Fair Value of Financial Instruments*

The Partnership's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is based upon the bank balance at December 31, 2019. The fair value of accounts payable is estimated by management to approximate their carrying value at December 31, 2019.

#### *Property and equipment*

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is based on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life as follows:

| Assets                 | Estimated<br>Useful Life |  |
|------------------------|--------------------------|--|
| Computer equipment     | 5 Years                  |  |
| Computer software      | 5 Years                  |  |
| Furniture              | 7 Years                  |  |
| Leasehold improvements | 15 Years                 |  |

The Partnership periodically assesses the recoverability of the carrying amounts of longlived assets. A loss is recognized when expected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. The impairment loss is the difference by which future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. The impairment loss is the difference by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Partnership did not recognize an impairment loss on its long lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2019.

#### *Income Taxes*

No provision for federal and state income taxes has been recorded because the Partnership is a single member limited liability company. Accordingly, the individual member reports the Partnership's income or loss on their income tax returns.

Property and equipment at December 31, 2019 are as follows:

| Furniture & fixtures           | \$<br>10,982 |
