## Note 1 - General information and summary of significant accounting policies - continued

## Basis of presentation

The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Codification ("Codification"). The Codification is the single official source of authoritative accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. All of the Codification's content carries the same level of authority. The Company is evaluating accounting standards and will implement as required.

## 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.

#### Income taxes

The Company was formed as a limited liability company and is treated as a sole proprietorship for federal income tax purposes. The earnings and losses of the Company are included in the member's income tax return. Consequently, the Company's income or loss is presented without a provision for federal and state income taxes. The Company's income or loss is allocated to the member in accordance with the organizational agreement.

The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company does not file composite state income tax returns. All federal and state income tax positions taken or anticipated to be taken in the income tax returns are attributable to the member and not to the Company.

As of December 31, 2024, there are no known items which would result in a material accrual related to where the Company has federal or state attributable tax positions.

{12}------------------------------------------------

## Note 1 - General information and summary of significant accounting policies - continued

#### Single Entity Segment

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of wholesaling services to other broker-dealers. The Company has identified its President as the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, predominantly in the forecasting process, to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 5), which is not a measure of profit and loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or pay dividends. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The company derived 100 percent of its total revenues from a single external customer in 2024.

#### Cash and cash equivalents

The Company defines cash and cash equivalents as highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days.

#### Revenue recognition policy

All of the Company's revenues are considered to be revenues from contracts with customers. The Company does not have customer accounts receivable or obligations for warranties, returns or refunds to customers. The Company does not have revenue recognized from performance obligations that were satisfied in prior periods, and the Company does not have any transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations. No judgements or estimates are necessary in the identification and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and the related allocation of transaction price. The Company believes that the Company's recognized revenue represents a faithful depiction of the transfer of services to the Company's customers.

The Company earns revenue through various investment banking activities primarily as an advisor in services related to debt and equity securities offerings. Commissions and management fee revenues are generally earned and recognized only upon satisfaction of the performance obligation. The performance obligation is deemed to be satisfied when the investor's funds are received by the issuer and all other terms of the subscription agreement have been met.

{13}------------------------------------------------

## Note 1 - General information and summary of significant accounting policies - continued

#### Financial instruments and credit risk

The financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to credit risk is cash. The Company maintains its cash with a major domestic bank. From time to time, cash may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not incurred losses related to these deposits.

#### Fair value of financial instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash. The carrying amount of cash approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of this item.

#### Note 2 - Related party transactions:

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company entered into an office and administrative services agreement with a Company affiliated with its sole member through common ownership structured in accordance with the broker-dealer expense reporting provisions established by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). On July 1, 2016, the Company entered into a new office and administrative services agreement with this Company affiliated with its sole member on the same terms and conditions as the January 1, 2016 agreement. The agreement automatically renews on an annual basis and includes furnishing of office space, supplies and equipment and facilitating the Company's payroll, insurance and employee benefits function. The Company paid \$120,000 in management fees to this affiliate during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with an affiliate under common ownership to lease office space in Houston, Texas for \$1 ,000 per month. Total rent expense related to this agreement for the year ended December 31, 2024 was \$12,000. Effective January 1, 2024, the termination date was extended for an additional one year term from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024 and subsequently to December 31, 2025. The Company also reimbursed this affiliate during 2024 for approximately \$21,000 of direct expenses paid on the Company's behalf.

{14}------------------------------------------------

#### Note 3 - Concentrations

The Company received all of its revenue of \$2,618,595 for the year ended December 31, 2024 from Rainey DWTN Austin DST and Village Towers DST, related parties through common control.

#### Note 4 - Consulting agreement:

During January 2009, the Company entered into a consulting services agreement with MGL Consulting Corporation ("MGL") to provide financial and regulatory reporting services and FINRA compliance services. The agreement automatically renews on an annual basis until terminated by either party. The agreement includes a fixed monthly professional fee, plus additional professional fees regarding financial bookkeeping and regulatory compliance, which are billed based on MGL's fixed fee contract. Consulting fees incurred to MGL were approximately \$99,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

#### Note 5 - Net capital requirements:

In accordance with Rule 15c3-1 of the SEC, the Company's aggregate indebtedness, as defined, shall not exceed 15 times its net capital. The Company must also maintain minimum net capital. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's net capital, as defined, of \$160,282 exceeded the required minimum of \$12,214 by \$148,068 and its ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was 1.1430 to 1.0.

## Note 6 - Subordinated liabilities:

There were no liabilities subordinated to claims of general creditors at any time during the year. Therefore, the statement of changes in liabilities subordinated to claims of general creditors has not been presented for the year ended December 31, 2024.

#### Note 7 - Subsequent events:

Management has evaluated subsequent events as of March 3, 2025, which is the date that the financial statements were available for issuance, and has determined that there are no subsequent events to be reported.

#### Note 8 - Going concern:

To date, the Company has received its funding from contributions from its sole member and its continued existence, in the absence of adequate cash flows from operations or other sources, will be dependent on receiving continued support from its member. The Company's sole member is committed to funding operations for the next 24 months so that the Company can meet obligations and net capital requirements.
