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

# *The following are the significant accounting policies followed by the Company:*

*Revenue Recognition* – Transaction fees are recognized as revenue upon completion of the transaction process. Advisory and consulting fees are recognized as the related services are rendered and the performance obligation has been satisfied. Retainers are recognized as revenue when the services have been performed. Costs connected with transaction fees are expensed as incurred.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when, or as, the Company satisfies its performance obligations by transferring the promised services to the customers. A service is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control of that service. A performance obligation may be satisfied at a point in time or over time. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time is recognized at the point in time that the Company determines the customer obtains control over the promised service. Revenue from a performance obligation satisfied over time is recognized by measuring the Company's progress in satisfying the performance obligation in a manner that depicts the transfer of the services to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those promised services (i.e., the "transaction price"). In determining the transaction price, the Company considers multiple factors, including the effects of variable consideration, if any.

*Income taxes* - No provisions have been made for income taxes since the Company is a limited liability company. The individual members are liable for income taxes based on their respective share of the Company's taxable income.

The Company recognizes and discloses uncertain tax positions in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). As of, and during the year ended June 30, 2025 the Company did not have liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company is subject to examination of tax years 2020 through 2024.

*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 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 may differ from those estimates and assumptions

*Method of accounting* – The Company has prepared its financial statements using the accrual basis of accounting.

# **5. Concentration of Credit Risk**

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash. For purposes of the statements of cash and cash flows, the company considers all cash on hand and on deposit with financial institutions to be cash.

#### **6. Concentration of Revenues**

The Company performs corporate finance and investment banking activities. These activities generally involve a limited number of clients and transactions that have varying realization periods and result in fluctuating revenues.

{8}------------------------------------------------

### **7. Net Capital Requirements**

The Company is a member of the FINRA and is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule 15c3-1. This Rule requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and requires 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, 2025, the Company had net capital and capital requirements of \$5,000 which was \$271,623 in excess of its required net capital of \$5,000. The Company's net capital ratio was 0.060 to 1.

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

### **8. Single Reportable Segment**

The Company is engaged in a single line of business as a securities broker-dealer, which is comprised of several classes of services, including private placements and investment advisory related to such. The Company has identified it's CEO as the chief operating decisions maker ("CODM"), who uses net income to evaluate the results of the business, predominately in the forecasting process, to manage the Company. Additionally, the CODM uses excess net capital (see Note 7), which is not a measure of profit or loss, to make operational decisions while maintaining capital adequacy, such as whether to reinvest profits or pay dividends. The Company's operations constitute a single operating segment and therefore, a single reportable segment, because the CODM manages the business activities using information of the Company as a whole. The accounting policies used to measure the profit and loss of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

### **9. Commitments and Contingencies**

The Company does not have any commitments, guarantees or contingencies. The Company is not aware of any threats or other circumstances that may lead to the assertion of a claim at a future date.

#### **10. Subsequent Events**

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring disclosure in these financial statements.
