The capital structure of the Company consists of one class of common units. The Company is authorized to issue 5,000 units. As of June 30, 2022, 800 units have been issued and are outstanding to the managing member and 200 units have been issued and are outstanding for the other member. The Managing Member has the authority to issue additional units or create new classes of units. Liability of the Members is limited to their capital contribution to the Company. The Company is a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and is therefore subject to certain regulatory requirements including the maintenance of a certain amount of net capital. The Company is also a member of the National Futures Association (NFA). The Company does not carry securities accounts for customers or perform custodial functions relating to customer securities and does not claim exemption from the Customer Protection Rule but limits its business activities to those specified in footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073. The Company introduces accredited investors to private investments, hedge funds, long only funds and to the advisers to such funds, for which the Company receives fee income. ## Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ## Cash For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and bank money market accounts with banks or financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less. #### Basis of Accounting The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with account principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company's year-end is June 30. #### Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. {7}------------------------------------------------ ## Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) ## Income Taxes The Company is a Limited Liability Company and is a disregarded entity for income tax purposes. Therefore, no provisions for federal or state taxes are made by the Company. Members of a Limited Liability Company are individually taxed on their prorata share of the Company's earnings. Tax expense of \$568,279 for the year ended June 30, 2023, results from the New York City "Unincorporated Business Tax" (UBT) of \$70,623 and \$497,656 in Pass-Through Entity tax (PTET). The statutory UBT rate is 4% of net income after adjustments for the year ended June 30, 2023. The Company follows the prov1s1ons of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (the "FASB ASC") 740-10-25, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." Assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold based on the technical merits of the positions. Estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions. ## Allowance for Credit Losses ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326") impacts the impairment model for certain financial assets by requiring a current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology to estimate expected credit losses over the entire life of the financial asset. Under ASC 326, the Company could determine there are no expected credit losses in certain circumstances (e.g., based on the credit quality of the client). The allowance for credit losses is based on the Company's expectation of the collectability of financial instruments, including fees and other receivables utilizing the CECL framework. The Company considers factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of balances and current and future economic conditions that may affect the Company's expectation of the collectability in determining the allowance for credit losses. Under the standard, the allowance for credit losses must be deducted from the amortized cost of the financial asset to present the net amount expected to be collected. The statement of operations would reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that might have taken place during the period. The Company has not provided an allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2023. {8}------------------------------------------------ ## Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) #### Receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts Receivables are stated at cost, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, if required. Receivables outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses when necessary resulting from the failure of customers to make required payments. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes allowances where there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. The Company considers all fees receivable at June 30, 2023 to be collectible, and no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary. #### Note 3 - Concentration of Credit Risk The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions, 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. As of June 30, 2023, the Company exceed this limit by approximately \$706,500. ## Note 4 - Regulatory Requirements ## Net Capital Requirements The Company is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission basic Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1) which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed 15 to 1. Net capital and the related net capital ratio may fluctuate on a daily basis. At June 30, 2023 the Company had net capital of \$755,177, which was \$588,019 in excess of its required net capital of \$167,158. The Company's ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital at June 30, 2023 was 3.32 to 1. #### Exemption from Rule 15c3-3 The Company does not claim exemption from the Customer Protection Rule but limits its business activities to those specified in footnote 74 of SEC Release No. 34-70073. {9}------------------------------------------------ #### Note 5 - Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability The Company recognizes and measures its leases in accordance with FASB ASC 842 and used the modified retrospective approach in adopting the new standard. The Company has identified its arrangements that are within the scope of the guidance and has evaluated its leases, which is primarily comprised of an operating real estate lease for its New York office, as detailed below. The Company occupies office space in New York City. The current lease runs through July 31, 2025. The lease was determined to be an operating lease. The Company recorded rent expense for the fiscal year ending June 30,2023 of \$146,233, which is included in rent and utilities on the statement of operations. The Company doesn't have any other lease or finance lease arrangements. The lease doesn't contain a renewal option but can be extended on a month to month basis at the end of the lease. The Company based the right of use asset and lease liability on the present value of unpaid future minimum lease payments. In accordance with the guidance, the Company has recorded a right of use asset on its statement of financial condition as of June 30, 2023 of \$314,923, and a lease liability of \$336,721. The cost for the operating lease was \$154,251 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2023 and operating cash flow paid for lease liability during the same period was \$146,980. The present value of the existing operating lease was determined by using the incremental collateralized borrowing rate at April 5, 2022 of 1.74%. A reconciliation of operating lease liabilities by minimum lease payments and discount amount by year, as of June 30, 2023, are as follows: | Year Ending June 30, | Lease | Less
Discount Amount | | Total
Lease Liability | | |----------------------|---------------|-------------------------|-------|--------------------------|---------| | 2024 | \$
162,450 | \$ | 4,607 | \$ | 157,843 | | 2025 | 166,511 | | 1,806 | | 164,705 | | 2026 | 14,194 | | 21 | | 14,173 | | | \$
343,155 | \$ | 6,434 | \$ | 336,721 | ## Note 6 - Members' Capital Income or loss is allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Membership Units. The Company considers whether membership units held by employees are considered members' capital or compensation arrangements based on the terms and conditions of the membership units. The terms and conditions of the membership units include call and put options which may result in the Company having the right but not the obligation to repurchase certain membership units. All membership units held by employees are accounted for as members' capital. {10}------------------------------------------------ ## Note 7 - Receivables and Contract Balances Receivables arise when the Company has an unconditional right to receive payment under a contract with a customer and are derecognized when the cash is received. As of July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023 the accounts receivable balance was \$6,319,863 and \$6,499,945, respectively. Contract assets arise when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to the Company's unconditional right to receive payment under a contract with a customer (i.e., unbilled receivable) and are derecognized when either it becomes a receivable or the cash is received. There were no contract assets as of July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023. Contract liabilities arise when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of the Company satisfying its performance obligations under the contract and are derecognized when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied. As of both July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023 contract liabilities were \$-0-. ## Note 8 - Subsequent Events These financial statements were approved by management and available for issuance on September 28, 2023. Subsequent events have been evaluated through that date. Source: SEC EDGAR via Adviser Search (https://search.stillhousedata.com). Agents: see https://search.stillhousedata.com/llms.txt.
