The Company is registered as a broker-dealer pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, became a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") on September 18, 2006 and is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC"). In 2007, the Company changed its name to May Davis Partners, LLC and in 2009 the Company changed its name to MD Global Partners, LLC (the "Company"). The Company provides a variety of broker-dealer services that include placement agent (or finder) for investment companies and private equity funds; third party marketing and providing M&A advisory services. #### **Summary of Significant Accounting Policies** ## *Presentation and Estimates* The presentation 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. ## Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes relating to the statement of cash flows, 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. ## Accounts and Commissions Receivable Receivables are recorded and stated at face value when collectability is reasonably assured. The Company incurred no bad debt expense during 2022. Management assessed its outstanding receivables at December 31, 2022 and determined that an allowance was unnecessary as the balance was due from its clearing broker. #### *Investments* The Company has adopted FASB ASC 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. As such, marketable securities held by the Company are classified as trading securities and stated at their fair market value based on quoted market prices. Realized gains or losses from the sale of marketable securities are computed based on specific identification of historical cost. Unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities are computed based on specific identification of recorded cost, with the change in fair value during the period included in income. The Company held no marketable securities at December 31, 2022. {7}------------------------------------------------ MD Global Partners, LLC Statement of Cash Flows For the Year Ended December 31, 2022 ## **Note 2: DEPOSIT WITH CLEARING ORGANIZATION** The Company has a brokerage agreement with RBC Capital Markets ("Clearing Broker") to carry its account and the accounts of its clients as customers of the Clearing Broker. The Clearing Broker has custody of the Company's cash balances which serve as collateral for any amounts due to the Clearing Broker as well as collateral for securities sold short or securities purchased on margin. Interest is paid monthly on these cash deposits at the average overnight repurchase rate. The balance at December 31, 2022 was \$50,000. ## **Note 3: INCOME TAXES** The Company operates as a single member limited liability company and is treated as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. Accordingly, all tax effects of the Company's income or loss are passed through to the member and no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes is included in these financial statements. ## **Note 4: CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK** Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash balances which at times may be in excess of insured amounts. It is the Company's policy to review, as necessary, the credit standing of its counterparties. ## **Note 5: COMMITTMENT AND CONTINGENCIES** The Company was named in a lawsuit by a third party who has no relationship with the Company. The lawsuit seeks \$47,500 in damages. The Company believes the suit has no merit. The Company has filed a civil suit against a former consultant and a former employee for theft, fraud, and breach of fiduciary duty. ## **Note 6: GUARANTEES** FASB ASC 460, Guarantees, requires the Company to disclose information about its obligations under certain guarantee arrangements. FASB ASC 460 defines guarantees as contracts and indemnification agreements that contingently require a guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on changes in an underlying factor (such as an interest or foreign exchange rate, security or commodity price, an index or the occurrence or nonoccurrence of a specified event) related to an asset, liability or equity security of a guaranteed party. This guidance also defines guarantees as contracts that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on another entity's failure to perform under an agreement as well as indirect guarantees of indebtedness of others. The Company has issued no guarantees at December 31, 2022 or during the year then ended. {8}------------------------------------------------ **MD** Global Partners, LLC Statement of Cash Flows For the Year Ended December 31, 2022 #### **Note 7: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS** The Company has evaluated events subsequent to the balance sheet date for items requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements. The evaluation was performed through March 28, 2023, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Based upon this review, except for the issues disclosed in Note 6 above, the Company has determined that there were no events which took place that would have a material impact on its financial statements. ## **Note 8: NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS** The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission Uniform Net Capital Rule (SEC Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. Rule 1Sc3-1 also provides that equity capital may not be withdrawn, or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1. Net capital and aggregate indebtedness change day to day, but on December 31, 2022, the Company had net capital of \$91,905 which was \$86,905 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000 and the Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness of \$6,214 to net capital was .067 to 1, which is less than the 15 to 1 maximum allowed.
