For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All cash balances are held with a major financial institution within the United States of America.

#### Financial instruments - Credit Losses:

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 326 - "Financial Instruments -Credit Losses" ("ASC Topic 326") which replaces the incurred loss methodology with the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology. The new guidance applies to financial aanets measured at amortized cost, held-to maturity debt securities and off-balance sheet credit exposures. For on-balance sheet assets, an allowance must be recognized at the origination or purchase of in-scope assets and represents the expected credit losses over the contractual life of those assets. Expected Credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures must be estimated over the contractual period the Company is exposed to credit risk as a result of a present obligation to extend credit. The Company adopted ASC topic 326 using the modified retrospective approach for all in-scope assets. The impact of the adoption of the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to the current period was not material.

#### Use of estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("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 period. Actual results could vary from those estimates.

### Concentration of credit risk:

The Company maintains its cash in accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents

#### Subsequent events evaluation:

Management has evaluated subsequent events through September 23, 2024, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

# Note 3 - Related party transactions:

The Company paid rent, utilities, accounting and occupancy costs on a month to month basis together with administrative expenses to a company owned by the managing member. The total amount paid and expensed during the period ended June 30, 2023 was \$12,000.

#### Note 4 - Commissions payable:

The Company records commissions payable to registered representatives based on a percentage of revenue. Commissions are paid when cash is received for amounts invoiced. No commission payable is recorded for accounts receivable balances that are considered uncollectible and for which a reserve is recorded.

#### Note 5 - Net capital requirement:

As a registered broker-dealer, the Company is subject to the SEC's Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. The Rule requires that the Company maintain minimum net capital and requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1 (and that equity capital may not be withdrawn, or cash dividends paid if the resulting net capital ratio would exceed 10 to 1). On June 30, 2024, the Company had net capital of \$207,874 which exceeded its requirement of \$27,875 by \$179,997. The Company had a ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital of 2.01 to 1 on June 30, 2024.
