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

## **Basis of Presentation**

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). All items of income and expense are accounted for on the accrual basis.

### **Use of Estimates**

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

### **Lease Accounting**

The Company has determined that the new lease accounting standard (ASC-842) does not apply to the Company.

### **Revenue Recognition**

The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance requires an entity to follow a five-step model to (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, ( 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when ( or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved.

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

### **Revenue Recognition (continued)**

The Company provides investment banking and advisory services. Revenue for investment banking success fees is generally recognized at the point in time that performance under the arrangement is completed (the closing date of the transaction). For certain contracts, the Company must evaluate the likelihood of significant reversal of revenue due to matters outside company control and only recognize revenue up to the amount that a significant revenue reversal is not probable. Revenue for financial advisory retainer fees is generally recognized over time in which the performance obligations are simultaneously provided by the Company and consumed by the customer. Retainers and other fees received from customers prior to recognizing revenue are reflected as contract liabilities. At December 31, 2019, contract liabilities were \$0. Disaggregation can be found on statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019.

### **Accounts Receivable**

Accounts receivable represents amount earned but not yet received. Management assesses the need for any allowance for doubtful accounts based on information regarding individual accounts and historical collection experience. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on management's best estimate of probable losses. There was no allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2019.

### **Cash and Cash Equivalents**

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

### **Income Taxes**

The Company consolidates its taxable income with its Parent, which files a partnership return for federal, state and city purposes. As a result, no federal or Massachusetts State income taxes are provided as they are the responsibility of the individual members.

Tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company's tax returns, including the position that the Company qualifies as a pass-through entity, are required to be evaluated to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authorities. There were no uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2019.

#### Note 3 **Concentrations**

The Company maintains cash balances in one financial institution, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for up to \$250,000 per institution. From time to time, the Company's balances may exceed these limits. During 2019, two customers provided 66% of the total revenues.

At December 31, 2019, the Company owed \$1, 731 to its Parent for services related to this agreement as shown on the statement of financial condition.
