### Notes to Statement of Financial Condition

# December 31, 2020

### (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

#### (a) Organization

Assetpoint Financial, LLC (Company or APF) was formed in the State of Delaware in July 2013 as a wholly owned subsidiary of IntraFi Network, LLC (IFN and or Member) formerly Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC. IFN is the sole member of APF and is a Delaware limited liability company that was formed in May 2002. Nexus Buyer LLC is the sole member of IFN. Nexus Buyer LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nexus Intermediate Parent LLC, who, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nexus Parent LLC. IFN provides services to APF including, but not limited to, sales, legal, marketing, human resources, and finance and accounting pursuant to an intercompany services agreement. The Company is a registered broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The Company is not subject to the requirements of the Customer Protection Rule (Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-3) because the Company's business activities are limited to those set forth in the conditions for exemption appearing in Footnote 74 of the SEC Release No. 34-70073 adopting amendments to 17 C.F.R. § 240.17a-5.

APF is an affiliate through common ownership of Assetpoint Services, LLC (APS), a Delaware limited liability company formed in September 2012. APS operates an informational website named Bank Assetpoint® (www.bankassetpoint.com) on which eligible participants can post and view listings of certain eligible assets. Eligible participants include banks, savings associations, credit unions, licensed commercial real estate brokers, loan sale advisory firms, and other sophisticated entities that meet certain requirements indicating that they have experience in buying or selling real estate or loan assets. Eligible assets include commercial real estate and certain loan assets.

The Company's business plan involves offering securities listing services, private placement services, services involving hedging instruments for customers offering marketed-linked certificates of deposit, as well as other brokerage services. The Company also offers a Repo Service that allows banks and other financial institutions to enter repurchase agreement transactions for themselves or as agents for their customers with one or more unaffiliated third-party securities dealers. APF performs agent duties in connection with the Repo Service, will not be party to any repo transaction, and does not at any time have custody of cash or securities in connection with the Repo Service. In 2020, all of APF's revenues were attributable to the Repo Service.

#### (b) 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 disclosures 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 estimated amounts.

### (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

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

# Assetpoint Financial, LLC

### Notes to Statement of Financial Condition

# December 31, 2020

#### (d) Accounts Receivable

Substantially all accounts receivable are expected to be collected within one year. Management monitors past due balances with clients and, for accounts where collectability is not probable, management records an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable to reflect management's best estimate of expected recovery. As of December 31, 2020, there is no allowance for uncollectible accounts.

### (e) Software Developed for Internal Use

Costs incurred for software developed for internal use are capitalized during the implementation stage and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the software. Such amounts are reported as fixed assets. Costs incurred in the project planning or post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred.

### (f) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

#### Adopted in the Current Period

Effective January 1, 2020, APF adopted the requirements of the Accounting Standards Update No 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13) and a subsequent amendment ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments (ASU 2019-04) in April 2019. ASU 2016-13 requires that expected credit losses relating to financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis, including trade accounts receivable, and available-for-sale debt securities be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2019-04 became effective for APF on January 1, 2021. The adoption of these standards has no impact on APF's financial statements and related disclosures.

#### (2) Income Taxes

The Company is a single-member limited liability company. No amounts related to income taxes have been recognized in the accompanying financial statements since the Company is treated as a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. IFN, the sole member of the Company, is also disregarded entity for income tax purposes. Nexus Buyer LLC, the sole member of IFN, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nexus Intermediate Parent LLC, who, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nexus Parent LLC. Therefore, the members of Nexus Parent LLC, a partnership for tax purposes, would be responsible for recording the Company's net income (loss) on their income tax filings. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of or during the year ended December 31, 2020.

### (3) Net Capital Requirements

The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1 (Rule 15c3-1) and is required to maintain minimum net capital equivalent to \$5,000 or 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness, whichever is greater, as these terms are defined. Rule 1503-1 restricts a broker-dealer from engaging in any securities transactions when its aggregate indebtedness exceeds 15 times its net capital as those terms are defined by Rule 15c3-1. Net capital and aggregate indebtedness change from day to day. At December 31, 2020, the Company had net capital of \$1,400,095, which was \$1,394,957 in excess of its required capital of \$5,138. The Company's aggregate indebtedness at December 31, 2020 was \$77,069.

In 2020 the Company recorded \$264,454 of depreciation expense.

### (6) Commitments and Contingencies
