#### **1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS**

Spoke Real Estate Financial, LLC (the "Company"), a Delaware Corporation was established on May 13, 2019 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Spoke Real Estate Enterprises LLC (the "Parent"). The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA"), as of October 15, 2019.

The Company acts as a private placement agent for real estate investment syndications that are structured as direct participation programs. The Company works with investment offerings that are structured and managed by one of its affiliates, Spoke Management LLC. A separate limited liability company is formed for each investment opportunity and controlled by Spoke Management LLC. The syndications are sold pursuant to the private placement exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D. All transactions are effected through a subscription document on an agency basis and funds are held in a bank escrow account.

## **2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

#### *Basis of presentation*

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

#### *Revenue recognition*

In accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC Topic 606") revenues from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the promised services to the customers. A service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised service. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring the Company's progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the services to the customer.

{10}------------------------------------------------

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

The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those promised services (i.e., the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration, if any. This amount is disclosed in each Private Placement Memorandum. Revenue is recognized at a point in time once the contingency is removed and the transaction is closed.

## *Uncertain tax positions*

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740 "Income Taxes" as they relate to uncertain tax positions. The Company was not required to recognize any amounts from uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2021.

The Company's conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof as well as other factors. In the event that tax authorities assess interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits, the Company will reflect such amounts in tax expense and income taxes payable.

## **3. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK**

The Company's cash deposits are held by one financial institution and therefore, are subject to credit risk to the extent those balances exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limit of \$250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

# **4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company earns all revenue from investment syndications with related party affiliates. Pursuant to an expense sharing agreement, the Company reimburses the Parent for allocated administration fees, office space, insurance and other services. These expenses were paid for by the Parent. These charges are updated periodically, and determined based on percentages of personnel time and other factors. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Parent charged the Company \$22,511 for such expenses.

{11}------------------------------------------------

## **5. NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS**

The Company is subject to the uniform net capital requirements of Rule 15c3-1 ("The Rule") of the Securities and Exchange Act, as amended, which requires the Company to maintain, at all times, sufficient liquid assets to cover indebtedness. In accordance with the Rule, the Company is required to maintain defined minimum net capital of the greater of \$5,000 or 6 2/3 % of aggregate indebtedness.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had net capital, as defined, of \$102,335, which exceeded the required minimum net capital of \$5,000 by \$97,335. Aggregate indebtedness at December 31, 2021 totaled \$26,444. The Company's percentage of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 25.84%.

## **6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

 Management of the Company has evaluated events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements are available to be issued, and determined that there are no material events that would require disclosures in the Company's financial statements.

## **7. COVID-19**

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a "Public Health Emergency of International concern" and on March 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Action taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate the spread of it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the company operates. On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, (CARES Act), was enacted to amongst other provisions, provide emergency assistance for individuals, families and businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. It is unknown how long the adverse conditions associated with the coronavirus will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Company. To date, the Company is not experiencing any decline in revenue.
