# **2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIF1CANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**

## Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in confomut)• 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 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.

## Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 825, "Financial Instruments," requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company's fmancial instruments: The canying amount of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instrun1ents.

# Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company's account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to \$250,000. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of suc1i fmancial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

### Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. No cUDlulative adjustment to accUDlulated deficit was required, as no material arrangements prior to the adoption were impacted by the new pronouncement. The Company typically enters into contracts with clients calling for periodic retainer fees to be paid during the term of the arrangement, and a variable consideration if a success fee is to be paid out once the merger or acquisition advisory services, or private placement of securities (the " transaction") is successfully completed. This success fee is typically based on a percentage of the total consideration of the transaction, although in certain cases it may be a flat fee. Accordingly, the Company recognizes retainer fees in the period the service obligation is performed. Success fees are only recognized if a transaction is fmalized.

The Company considers total retainer fees to be the only performance obligation in contracts with customers. These fees are recognized over time as the services are delivered. Success fees are considered to be variable consideration which are not estimated at the time services are delivered because it is not probable that a significant reversal of those revenues would not occur in a future period. Success fees of \$2,130,630 recognized in the current year are from performance obligations partially satisfied in a prior period.

### Subsequent Events

Subsequent events were evaluated through the date of the consolidated financial statements were filed.
