It is management's opinion, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which.are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. ### Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value. #### Accounting hasis The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting for financial statement and income tax reporting. Accordingly revenues are recognized when services are rendered and expenses realized when the obligation is incurred. #### Income Taxes The Company is a limited liability company, taxed as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, and, thus, no federal income tax expense has been recorded in the financial statements. Taxable income of the Company is passed through to the members and reported on their individual tax returns. Pursuant to accounting guidance concerning provision for uncertain income tax provisions contained in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740-10, there are no uncertain income tax positions. The federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed. {5}------------------------------------------------ ### **JAMIESON CORPORATE FINANCE** US **LLC NOTES TO FINANCL,U STATEMENTS APRIL 30, 2021 (IN US DOLLARS)** ### **2. SlTh1MARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** ### Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in confonnit)• with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"). The main principle of Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company typically enters into contracts with clients calling for advisory fee services and success fees to be paid out once the transaction is successfully completed. This success fee is typically a flat fee. Accordingly, the Company recognizes advisory fees in the period earned, when the performance obligations have been satisfied. In addition, the Company recognizes success fees at the date the performance obligation is satisfied which is at the completion of the transaction # Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable is recorded at the amount the Company expects to collect on balances outstanding at year-end. The determination of the amount ofuncollectible accounts is based on the length of time each receivable has been outstanding, and a reasonable assessment of the capacity of the debtor to pay the receivable. The allowance for uncollectible amounts reflects the amount of loss that can be reasonably estimated by management and is included as part of operating expenses in the accompanying statement of operations. As of April 30, 2021, the Company has not recorded an allowance for any potential noncollection. # Fair Values of Financial Instruments Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 825, "Financial Instruments," requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company's financial instruments: The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. ### Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company's account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to \$250,000. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits. {6}------------------------------------------------ # **JAMIESON CORPORATE FINANCE** US **LLC NOTES TO FINANCL,U STATEMENTS APRIL 30, 2021 (IN US DOLLARS)** ### **2.

Monetary assets and liabilities are revalued into the reporting currency at each balance sheet date using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, with any resulting exchange gains or losses being credited or charged to accumulated other comprehensive loss. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are recorded in the reporting currency using the historical exchange rate. The Company does not engage in hedging activities to offset the risk of exchange rate fluctuations on financial transactions denominated in a foreign currency. The transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the Company's financial statements. Any unrealized gain or loss due to spot rate fluctuations is included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. ### Fixed Assets Acquisitions of furniture and equipment are recorded at cost. Improvements and replacements of furniture and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of furniture and equipment are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or retired, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported in the statements of income and retained earnings.
