## **COLBAL T CAPITAL, INC.**

### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2023**

## **NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

### **Organization and Business**

Cobalt Capital, Inc. (the "Company") is a Florida corporation incorporated on March 18, 2005. The Company operates as a limited broker-dealer managing the distribution and marketing of real estate units of direct participation programs. The Company also operates as the managing broker-dealer which functions as the "distributor" or "wholesaler" broker-dealer and engages other broker-dealers to make its programs available for retail distribution. The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FIN RA").

### **Revenue Recognition**

Revenue from contracts with customers includes commissions from private placements and service fees. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified: when to recognize revenue based on appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of ce11ain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should be applied due to uncertain future events.

The Company recognizes commissions from private placements upon the sale of each interest in an offering as this satisfies the only performance obligation identified by the Company.

The Company provides services to certain issuers during the course of private placement offerings pursuant to services agreements for which the Company receives fees. These services can include back-office supp011, customer due diligence and other compliance related services. The Company recognizes such service fees over time as the related performance obligations are simultaneously provided to and consumed by the customer.

### **Accounts Receivable**

Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing uncollatcralizcd obligations receivable in accordance with the term <sup>s</sup> agreed upon with each customer. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable for any uncollectible amounts. The review for uncolleetiblc amounts is based on an analysis of the Company's collection experience, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends.

### **Cash**

The Company maintains its bank accounts in high credit quality financial institutions. At times, balances may exceed federally insured limits.

### **Estimates**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to **make** estimates and assumptions that affect the reprn1ed amounts of assets and liabilities and disclos ure 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.

## **COLBALT CAPITAL, INC.**

#### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2023**

## **NOTE** I: **ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**

#### **Advertising and Promotion**

Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred \$3,838 in advertising and promotion expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023.

#### **Income taxes**

The Company is recognized as an S-Corporation by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company's shareholder is liable for federal and state income taxes on the Company's taxable income.

The Company is required to detcnnine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any tax related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and may file income tax returns in various U.S. states. The Company is not subject to income tax return examinations by major taxing authorities for years before 2020. The Company did not have unrecognized tax benefits as of December JI, 2023, and docs not expect this to change significantly over the next twelve months. The Company will recognize interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023, the company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

## **NOTE 2: NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

Pursuant to the net capital provisions of Ruic 15c3-I of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is required to maintain a minimum net capital, as defined under such provisions. At December 31, 2023, the Company had net capital of \$88,606 which was \$79,424 in excess of its required net capital of\$9, 182. The Company's net capital ratio (aggregate indebtedness to net capital) was *1.55* to 1.00. According to Ruic I SeJ-1, the Company's net capital ratio shall not exceed IS to l.

### **NOTE 3: LEASES**

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract. Lease assets are included in right-of-use ("ROU") assets while the corresponding lease liabilities arc included in lease liabilities in the statement of financial condition. A ROU asset represents the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while the related lease liability represents obligations to make future lease payments arising from the lease. A ROU asset and related lease liability are recognized at the lease commencement date, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based upon what it would approximately have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms and in a similar economic environment. The ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the amount of remeasured lease liability (present value of the remaining lease payments), less the unamo1tizcd balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense is recognized on a straightline basis over the lease term.

### **COLBAL T CAPITAL, INC.**

#### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL ST A TEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2023**

### **NOTE 3: LEASES (Continued)**

The Company leases office space under a non-cancel able operating lease expiring in September 2024. Maturity of the lease liability under the non-cancclablc operating lease is as follows:

| Y<br>ea<br>r                                                | A  | nt<br>m<br>ou      |

| T<br>al<br>ot                                               |    | 30<br>,5<br>23     |

| al<br>l<br>l<br>ia<br>bi<br>lit<br>T<br>ot<br>ea<br>se<br>y | \$ | 30<br>,0<br>2<br>1 |

The Company's office space lease requires it to make variable payments for the Company's proportionate share of operating expenses (i.e., building's property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance). These variable lease payments are not included in lease payments used to detcnninc the lease liability and are thus recognized as variable costs when incurred.

The total lease cost including variable costs associated with this lease was approximately \$45,707 for the year ended December 3 l, 2023.

#### **NOTE** 4: **CONTINGENCIES**

The Company is subject to I itigation in the normal course of business. The Company has no litigation in progress at Dcccm ber 31 , 2023.

#### **NOTE 5: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

#### **NOTE 6: RETIREMENT PLANS**

The Company has a cash balance retirement plan which was adopted in January 2014. The gain or loss pertaining to the change in the fair value of plan assets and present value of vested benefits is reflected in other comprehensive income or loss within the accompanying statement of operations.

The plan's funded status at December 31, 2023, is as follows:

| /<br>\s<br>fa<br>ir<br>lu<br>ts<br>t<br>sc<br>a<br>va<br>e               | \$5<br>40<br>25<br>,7             |

### **COLBAL T CAP IT AL, INC.**

### **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2023**

#### **NOTE 6: RETIREMENT PLANS (Continued)**

The unit credit funding method was used as prescribed by the Pension Protection Act. This method sets the funding target equal to the present va I u c of accrued benefits and sets the n orma I cost equal to the present v a I uc of the benefit accrued in the current year. The cash balance projected interest crediting rate is 3%.

The plan docs not expect to pay any benefits during the next five fiscal years.

The Company has also adopted a 401 K plan. The employer contribution expense related to the 401 **K**  plan for 2023 was \$18,050 which has been included in commissions, compensation, and benefits in the accompanying statement of operations.

#### **NOTE 7: FAIR VALUE**

FASI3 ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy which 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 tech n iq ucs that arc consistent with the market, income, or cost approach, as spcci fi cd by FAS I3 A SC 820, arc used to measure fair value.

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

J ,cvcl 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: inputs (other than quoted prices) that arc observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly.

Level J: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability developed using estimates and assumptions which reflect those that market paiticipants would use. (The unobsentablc inputs arc 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 the retirement plan assets measured at fair value as of December J 1, 2023.
