#### **1. Organization and nature of business**

GP Nurmenkari, Inc. (the Company) is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company is exempt from SEC customer protection rules under Paragraph (k)(2)(ii) of SEC Rule 15c3-3. The Company is a New York corporation established on January 7, 2010.

#### **2. Significant Accounting Policies**

#### *Basic of Presentation*

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which comprises several classes of services, including private placements of securities, selling corporate debt securities, and retailing corporate equity securities over the counter on a fully disclosed basis through a clearing broker.

#### *Use of estimates*

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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*

Revenue from contracts with customers includes fees from investment banking and advisory services. The recognition and measurement of revenue is based on the assessment of individual contract terms. Significant judgment is required to determine whether performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time; how to allocate transaction prices where multiple performance obligations are identified; when to recognize revenue based on the appropriate measure of the Company's progress under the contract; whether revenue should be presented gross or net of certain costs; and whether constraints on variable consideration should applied due to uncertain future events.

{6}------------------------------------------------

#### **2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)**

The Company provides advisory services (consulting) on mergers and acquisitions. Revenue for advisory arrangements is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction) or the contract is cancelled. However, for certain contracts, revenue is recognized over time for advisory arrangements in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. In some circumstances, significant judgment is needed to determine the timing and measure of progress appropriate for revenue recognition under a specific contract. Retainers and other fees received from customers prior to recognizing revenue are reflected as contract liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2023, no retainers and other fees were received by the Company.

#### *Statement of Cash Flows*

For purpose of 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.

#### **3. Concentration of Credit Risk**

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposit accounts. Funds deposited with a single financial institution are insured up to \$250,000 in the aggregate by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). At times, cash balances may exceed FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

#### **4. Commitments and contingencies**

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may from time to time have legal claims made against it, both asserted and unasserted. The Company believes that, as of December 31, 2023, there are no claims, either asserted or unasserted, that require either to be disclosed herein or to be reserved for in these financial statements.

{7}------------------------------------------------

#### **5. Lease Commitment**

The Company leases space on a month-to-month basis at a monthly cost of \$1,125. In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases – (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet to reflect the rights and obligations created by lease agreements, including for those leases classified as operation leases under previous GAAP, along with the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. As the Company's lease is month to month, the Company is recognizing lease expense each month for the amount incurred each month.

#### **6. Depreciation**

Property and equipment are stated at cost and recorded net of accumulated depreciation using straight line with estimated useful lives of five to seven years.

Property and equipment as of December 31, 2023 consisted of office furniture and equipment at a cost of \$833. Depreciation expense for the year was \$425.

#### **7. 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, as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1, and minimum dollar amount of net capital requirement is \$5,000. On December 31, 2023, the Company's minimum capital requirement was \$5,000. The company's aggregate indebtedness to net capital ratio was 1.30 to 1 and the Company had net capital of \$7,393 which exceeded the minimum required dollar amount by \$2,393.

#### **8. Income taxes**

The Company has elected to be taxed as an S corporation. Accordingly, the Company's income and loss is passed through to the Shareholder. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included in the financial statements except for the recently enacted Connecticut entry level taxes.
