# BELMONT CAPITAL NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2021

#### Note 1 -Nature of Business

Cillian Holdings, LLC, dba Belmont Capital, a Limited Liability Company ("The Company"), is a New York company conducting business as a broker/dealer in securities. The Company is a sponsor of private investment funds that are registered as exempted companies with limited liability under the laws of the Caymen Islands. The Company is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator with the National Futures Association ("NFA").

The Company amended its membership agreement with FINRA on October 2, 2020 and will not claim exemption from the provisions of Rule 15c3-3 of the SEC, in reliance on footnote 74 to SEC Release 34-70073.

#### Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

#### Revenue Recognition a)

The Company enters into arrangements with pooled investment vehicles (funds) to distribute shares to investors. The Company receives sponsor fees paid by the fund over time based upon the value of the funds. The Company believes that its performance obligation is the continued investment from investors and as such this is fulfilled on a continuous basis. Sponsorship fee are variable amounts recognized to the extent it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur once the uncertainty is resolved. For variable amounts, as the uncertainty is dependent on the value of the shares at future points in time as well as the length of time the investor remains in the fund, both of which are highly susceptible to factors outside the Company's influence, the Company does not believe that it can overcome this constraint until the market value of the fund and the investor activities are known, which are usually monthly or quarterly.

The Company earns commissions with the funds when the underlying fund manager generates commissions from its brokerage trading. The Company believes that the performance obligation is satisfied on the trade date because that is when the underlying financial instrument or purchaser is identified, the pricing is agreed upon and the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to/from the customer.

b) Cash

> The Company maintains cash in bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits or where no insurance is provided. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

#### Income Taxes c)

Income taxes are not payable by, or provided for, the Company, since the Company is a Single Member Limited Liability Company. The accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to provide for unincorporated business tax based upon Company income, if applicable.

## Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

#### Use of Estimates d)

#### e) Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events that have occurred as of May 25, 2022, the date the financial statements were issued.

#### Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk Note 3 -

At December 31, 2021, the Company does not hold any financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. At certain times throughout the year, the Company may maintain bank account balances in excess of federally insured limits.

The lease automatically renews each year for one-year terms unless terminated by either party with a 90-day notice period.

#### Related Party Transactions Note 5 -

# BELMONT CAPITAL NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2021

#### Note 7 - Risks and Uncertainties

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This pandemic event has resulted in significant business disruptions and uncertainty in both global and U.S. markets. While management believes the Company is in an appropriate position to weather the potential shortterm effects of these world-wide events, the direct and long-term impact to the Company and its financial statements is undetermined at this time.
