## Accrual Basis of Accounting

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company's year-end is December 31.

#### Income Taxes

## Note 3 - Regulatory Requirements

#### Net Capital Requirements

#### Note 6 - Fair Value

Effective January 1, 2008, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") ASC 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820 had no effect on the Company's financial statements. ASC 820 accomplished the following key objectives:

Defines fair value as 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;

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

## Note 6 - Fair Value (continued)

Establishes a three-level hierarchy (the "Valuation Hierarchy") for fair value Measurements;

Requires consideration of the Company's creditworthiness when valuing liabilities; and

Expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value.

The Valuation Hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument's categorization within the Valuation Hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the Valuation Hierarchy and the distribution of the Company's financial assets within it are as follows:

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets of liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology included quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset of liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3- inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the balance sheet, which approximates fair value due to their short-term, highly liquid nature. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, account receivable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and deferred revenue.

## Note 7 - Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company'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.

# Note 7 - Risk and Uncertainties - COVID-19

The Company continues to monitor and work with the management teams of the affiliated companies to which we provide services to navigate the significant market, operational and economic challenges created by the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. This has impacted the companies to which we provide services and the broader financial markets in general. The investment portfolio of these affiliated companies continues to be focused on a diversified mix of industries and sectors, and the Company believes they have effectively and efficiently responded to the challenges posed by COVID-19 and related orders imposed by state and local governments. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations is uncertain, but the Company believes it has a sufficient level of liquidity to support its capital needs.
